SP W/ SS ISVI Playground Equipment

The State of Illinois is soliciting proposals for playground equipment under a requirements contract (SP W/ SS ISVI) with proposals due July 24, 2026.

The scope encompasses playground equipment meeting ISVI (Illinois Special Vendor Initiative) standards, though specific equipment types, configurations, safety certifications, or accessibility requirements are not detailed in the source material. The procurement is structured as a requirements contract, meaning the State will order equipment as needed during the contract term rather than committing to a fixed quantity upfront.

Standard terms and conditions (Version 23.2) issued by the Chief Procurement Office apply. Vendors must carry general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence with $2 million annual aggregate and worker's compensation insurance as required by law. The State retains sole and exclusive ownership of all work product and intellectual property. Vendors must maintain books and records for three years following final payment or contract completion, or five years if federal funds are involved. Assignment or subcontracting requires prior written State approval.

The State may terminate for cause immediately upon notice if vendor actions jeopardize health, safety, or property, or for convenience with 30 days' prior written notice without penalty. Contracts are contingent upon appropriations availability and subject to suspension or termination if funding becomes unavailable. Disputes must be filed exclusively with the Illinois Court of Claims. Vendors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and obtain necessary licenses at their own expense. All supplies must conform to specifications, be merchantable, and not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
