Studio Production Equipment

The State of Illinois is soliciting bids for studio production equipment for video, with proposals due May 19, 2026. Vendors must comply with 34 distinct State of Illinois certification categories covering statutory and regulatory requirements — a baseline eligibility filter that applies equally to subcontractors and must be updated annually by January 1 for contracts exceeding one year in duration.

The scope is studio production equipment for video. No specific equipment list, quantities, technical specifications, or deliverables are detailed in the source materials.

Vendors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, Auto Liability of $1 million per occurrence, and Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law, with the State named as additionally insured. The State assumes sole ownership of all work products and intellectual property created under the contract. Prevailing wage requirements apply to applicable service categories. Records must be retained for three years (five years if federal funds are used), and the State reserves the right to conduct audits and background checks. Contracts of $1,000 or more require payment of a $15 Minority Contractor Initiative fee. The State may terminate for cause with immediate notice or for convenience with thirty days' notice.

No contract value, contract term, incumbent, evaluation criteria, pre-bid meeting, or site visit is identified in the source.
