Stainless Steel Angle and Square Tube

The State of Illinois is soliciting vendors for a Blanket Order Agreement (BOA) covering stainless steel angle and square tube materials, with proposals due September 11, 2026. This is a framework agreement enabling multiple purchase orders throughout the contract term on an as-needed basis rather than through individual competitive solicitations.

The scope covers stainless steel angle and square tube stock in various grades, sizes, and finishes. The BOA structure allows the State to procure materials flexibly while establishing unit costs and pricing structures upfront, with provisions for adjustments based on market conditions or contract modifications.

Standard State of Illinois procurement terms apply, including the State Prompt Payment Act, prevailing wage compliance for applicable service categories, and a $15 fee requirement for minority contractor initiative vendors on contracts of $1,000 or more. Vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, retain comprehensive records for three years (or five years if federal funds are used), obtain prior written approval for subcontractors, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. All work products and intellectual property created under the agreement become the sole property of the State. The State reserves the right to terminate for cause with written notice and cure periods, or for convenience with thirty days' notice without penalty. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Illinois Court of Claims.
