Thermal Transfer Printers

This state procurement opportunity is for the purchase of thermal transfer printers by the State of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Revenue is seeking to procure 5 SATO Model WS412 printers, 5 SATO Model CL412NX printers, and 5 two-year extended warranties for the CL412NX models. These printers are used to print labels for taxpayer documents before they are batched. The existing printers are worn out and cannot be repaired due to the lack of available replacement parts and a service contract. Without the new printers, the Department of Revenue will be unable to properly label and batch taxpayer documents. The procurement process requires vendors to be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and submit completed Forms A and B, which cover certifications, disclosures, and other standard requirements. The solicitation has a due date of September 14, 2018.

The procurement documents do not indicate any small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned business program set-asides or requirements. There are also no details provided on any incumbent suppliers or existing contracts. The total budget or award value for this contract opportunity is not specified in the available documents.
