Sublet engine replacement for Dixon garage #57279

The State of Illinois, through the Central Management Services agency, is soliciting bids from small business vendors for a sublet engine replacement on a 2019 Ford F-150 vehicle at its state garage in Dixon, Illinois. The procurement requires the vendor to obtain prior written authorization from the agency before proceeding with any repairs that exceed the stated cost limit. The contract will be subject to compliance with various state certification requirements, including civil rights laws, political activity restrictions, environmental protections, and drug-free workplace provisions. Vendors must also demonstrate they are authorized to conduct business in the state and have not violated procurement laws. Submissions must be made electronically through the BidBuy system by the July 25, 2022 due date, as the state will not accept any paper responses.

This contract opportunity is limited to small business vendors, and the state has not provided information on any incumbent contractors or existing technology that may require integration. The procurement documents do not specify an award value or budget range, but the selected vendor will be required to comply with minority contractor initiatives, prevailing wage laws, and federal funding requirements if applicable. Vendors must also maintain records for auditing purposes and cooperate with any investigations by the state.
