About this opportunity

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Tollway) is conducting a competitive procurement for promotional items through Request for Quote (RFQ) #24-0235, seeking a vendor to provide nine specific safety and training-related promotional items. The procurement covers 2,300 color-changing sunglasses, 500 emergency hammer safety tools, 500 sling backpacks, 500 safety t-shirts in various sizes, 500 SPF lip balms, 500 car air fresheners, 500 folding tripod stools, 500 lanyards, and 500 first aid kits, all of which must be imprinted with the Tollway logo and potentially accompanying slogans. Delivery requirements are stringent, with color-changing sunglasses required by February 7, 2025 or no later than March 1, 2025, and remaining items to be delivered within 10 business days after final design proof approval. The contract term is six months, starting January 31, 2025, with no renewal options. Evaluation will be based on the lowest total price, with bidders required to submit pricing through the BidBuy system (Bid #B-46070) and bid on all line items to be considered responsive. Quoted prices must remain valid for 180 days, and vendors can propose equivalent products by providing detailed specification literature.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the procurement follows standard State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services terms, which typically include provisions for minority contractor initiatives. The contract includes a $15 fee for contracts over $1,000 under the Minority Contractor Initiative and requires vendors to comply with various operational standards, including insurance coverage minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial liability and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Vendors must also meet requirements related to employment tax credits, background checks, and federal funding disclosure. The procurement covers all items to be delivered FOB to the Illinois Tollway Central Administration in Downers Grove, Illinois. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive list of promotional items suggests a moderate-scale procurement. Notably, the RFQ requires precise logo and slogan placement specifications, with detailed requirements for each item's branding, indicating a high level of brand consistency and marketing precision is expected from the selected vendor.
