Solicitation 26-416CMS-BOSS4-B-50156 establishes a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for the procurement of new, unused sedans, options, accessories, and parts for governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies within the State of Illinois. Managed by the Department of Central Management Services, the contract allows these entities to purchase vehicles on an as-needed basis. To be eligible, vendors must be authorized dealers of an established manufacturer and ensure all vehicles meet federal and state safety and emission standards, with delivery mileage not exceeding 1,000 miles. The State intends to make multiple awards to all responsive and responsible bidders, with priority status determined by the lowest overall cost. Bidders must submit their responses electronically via the BidBuy portal, including a Vendor Disclosure, an Offer to the State, and a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Utilization Plan, which includes a 2% BEP goal. Evaluation is based on price, responsiveness, and responsibility, including factors such as past performance, financial stability, and compliance with the Illinois Procurement Code. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination, with specific fees for single or multiple vehicle shipments and a minimum order of 500 dollars for parts and accessories. The contract mandates that vendors bill each purchasing agency separately and provides a one-year warranty period during which the vendor may be required to replace non-conforming equipment at no additional cost.
