Stereoscopes

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IL EPA) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of stereoscopes and related accessories. The IL EPA is seeking to purchase three sets of stereo microscopes, including zoom bodies, light stands, stage plates, objectives, observation tubes, eyepieces, power cords, LED illuminators, and adapters, as well as one compatible digital camera with 5-10 megapixel resolution. The equipment must be compatible with the agency's existing Olympus LC20 digital cameras. Quotes are due by July 27th at 5PM CST, and quoted prices must be valid for 30 days, include shipping and handling, and have no price increases. The agency reserves the right to reject any or all offers, award by item or in total, and waive minor defects. The contract is contingent upon the availability of sufficient funds, and the agency or the vendor may terminate or suspend the agreement in the event of a funding failure.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
