Statewide IDOC Public Performance License Agreement & DVD Mail Subscription Service

The State of Illinois is seeking a responsible vendor to provide a statewide public performance license agreement and DVD mail subscription service for the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). The procurement includes two key components: a non-theatrical public performance licensing agreement for motion picture titles from various production companies, and a DVD mail subscription service that will provide six studio-edited titles per month for viewing in IDOC facilities. The contract term is five years, with a possible extension up to ten years total. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by the stated deadline, as paper submissions will not be accepted per a recent statewide notice. Interested parties must complete a vendor disclosure form and certify their registration in the Illinois Procurement Gateway.

The contract does not include any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. The incumbent vendor is Swank Motion Pictures, Inc., who was awarded the previous $997,575 contract for a five-year term. The pricing structure for this solicitation is estimated rather than firm, and the contract is contingent upon the availability of funding, which may be subject to state budget constraints. Invoices must be submitted monthly or upon completion of services and will be paid in accordance with the State Prompt Payment Act.
