State Use Transponder Fulfillment Services

This is not a competitive bid opportunity, but rather a direct award to a State Use Sheltered Workshop for transponder fulfillment services in Illinois. The contract was awarded to Ada S. McKinley Community Services for a 36-month initial term valued at $7,500,000, with an optional 24-month renewal period valued at $6,000,000, for a total award amount of $13,500,000. The contract is for the fulfillment and distribution of vehicle transponders for state agencies and programs in Illinois, specifically in Dupage County, for the period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026, with a potential 24-month renewal option. As a State Use contract, the pricing and funding sources are predetermined and not subject to competitive bidding. There are no quantity estimates provided, and the specific deliverables and objectives are not detailed in the available documentation.

Since this is a State Use contract, it is restricted to State Use Sheltered Workshops, which are organizations that provide employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. There is no Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veteran's Business Program (VBP) utilization plan required, as it is a sole-source award to the designated State Use provider. The procurement was approved by the Chief Procurement Office, and the award was made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, which in this case is the sole-source State Use provider.
