STATE USE MC Paper Plates

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the provision of paper plates under the State Use Program. The contract, awarded to Shelby County Community Services for $211,872.10 over an initial 2-year term with a 1-year renewal option, requires the successful vendor to supply paper plates to meet the needs of state and local government entities within St. Clair County. The contract was awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder through a competitive bidding process. The procurement does not include any set-aside requirements for Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veteran Business Program (VBP) participation.

The contract award determination indicates that the rationale for the decision is reasonable and serves as the basis for the contract award. The solicitation does not specify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The available information does not provide a budget range, but the total award value of $211,872.10 suggests the scope and scale of the procurement.
