TDF - PIF Washer SP

The Illinois Department of Human Services is soliciting bids for the procurement of a 100 lb. capacity rigid mount washer/extractor for facility laundry operations. This is a goods procurement with a contract term extending from the date of execution through June 30, 2026. The equipment must be delivered, installed, and fully operational by June 30, 2026, and must be compatible with both hot and cold water systems while operating on the facility's existing 3-phase, 208-volt electrical service. Vendors are responsible for reconnecting all chemical lines upon installation and must coordinate with Ecolab, the facility's chemical supplier. The facility operates during normal business hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, though vendors may request additional hours as needed. All delivery personnel must submit to background checks at least one week prior to delivery, and equipment entry must occur via the Sally Port or through the gate behind the laundry using a tractor or forklift. The bid deadline is April 14, 2026, with a posted date of March 27, 2026.

The procurement is subject to Illinois' Standard Terms and Conditions and Standard Certifications requirements, which establish comprehensive compliance obligations for vendors including legal entity status verification, criminal history clearance, financial delinquency checks, environmental compliance, drug-free workplace standards, equal employment opportunity compliance, and cybersecurity clearance. All vendors must acknowledge these mandatory certifications, and any false statements or non-compliance may result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, or civil and criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act. Vendors awarded contracts valued at $1,000 or more must pay a $15 fee to support the Minority Contractor Initiative, deducted from the first payment. The State retains the right to terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice or for cause immediately upon notice, and the contract is contingent upon appropriation of sufficient funds by the Illinois General Assembly. The procurement does not require equipment to be brand-specific, allowing vendors flexibility in their proposals while maintaining full compliance with all stated specifications. No incumbent vendor, award value, or budget range information is provided in the available documentation.
