SP with Sole Source Conditions-Nighthawk HBI Handheld Imager

The Illinois Tollway is seeking to procure the Nighthawk handheld portable x-ray devices for their District 15 State Police through a Sole Source procurement. This procurement is a Special Purchase (SP) with Sole Source Conditions, which allows the Tollway to bypass the competitive bidding process and directly award the contract to the sole manufacturer of the required equipment. The key objective is to acquire the specialized Nighthawk devices, which are the only handheld x-ray imagers that meet the Tollway's operational requirements. The Tollway has set a proposal due date of February 1, 2021, giving interested parties less than two weeks to submit their responses.

As this is a Sole Source procurement, there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the Tollway has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this requirement. The total award value or budget range for this procurement has not been disclosed. Prospective vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to deliver the Nighthawk devices and provide any necessary integration with existing Tollway infrastructure and technology.
