Warehouse Move Emergency Notice

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has issued an emergency procurement for the relocation and management of its Tier 1 Pharmaceutical and Medical Materiel program, specifically focusing on moving medicine and ventilators from a currently non-compliant warehouse to a new location. The primary contractor, Agiliti Health, will provide comprehensive technical support and regulatory guidance to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal requirements, including Good Manufacturing Procedures (cGMP). The contract requires Agiliti Health to monitor the IDPH's web-enabled Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, with response times of 4 hours during normal operations and 2 hours during emergencies. Key deliverables include monthly technical reports, inventory data visualization, and adherence to state and federal records retention protocols. The procurement is time-sensitive, with a contract period from August 16, 2024 to November 13, 2024, and a final submission deadline of November 13, 2024. The emergency purchase is specifically focused on maintaining the state's ability to rapidly respond to public health crises by ensuring proper storage and management of critical medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.

The emergency procurement is 100% federally funded and is exempt from the state's Business Enterprise Program requirements. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the contract appears to be open to qualified vendors with expertise in medical supply management and emergency response infrastructure. The total contract value is $729,389, which covers Agiliti Health's comprehensive management of the warehouse facilities, materials, power platforms, and electronic systems. The procurement is specifically targeted at Mclean County, Illinois, with a jurisdiction FIPS Code of 17113. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements beyond the current SCADA system are explicitly detailed in the documentation. The emergency nature of the procurement suggests that the primary evaluation criteria will focus on technical capability, regulatory compliance, and the vendor's ability to quickly and effectively manage the relocation and ongoing maintenance of critical medical supplies.
