26-532EPA-DIROF-B-51200 | Land X-Ray Fluorescence and Accessories

This solicitation, issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's Director's Office under the solicitation number 26-532EPA-DIROF-B-51200, seeks vendors to provide Land X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers and related accessories. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 and is categorized as a Small Purchase method, though no formal contract type such as firm-fixed-price or IDIQ is explicitly mentioned. The work scope requires delivery of new, defect-free quality supplies, conforming to state-furnished specifications and all applicable federal and state laws. The contract emphasizes adherence to timelines with the clause "Time is of the essence," but specific delivery schedules or contract durations are not detailed. All services and deliveries are expected to be performed within the United States, primarily in Springfield, Illinois, where the agency is based. The contract includes standard provisions addressing confidentiality, intellectual property (with deliverables considered work-for-hire owned by the State), indemnification, insurance, and compliance with laws, including statutory citations relevant to Illinois procurement. Inspection and acceptance of supplies rest with the State, which holds the authority to reject non-conforming items based on specified quality and warranty standards that require a minimum 12-month defect-free period. While packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are generally stipulated to comply with all laws, detailed technical standards or MIL-STD references are absent. Special contract terms cover vendor personnel qualifications, background checks, and confidentiality obligations, though no key personnel or option clauses are defined. Certifications trigger ongoing obligations on anti-competitive behavior reporting, drug-free workplace compliance, and other Illinois-specific mandates. The contract lacks explicit pricing, evaluation factors, or award criteria in the available documents. Invoices are submitted electronically following contract terms, with the designated point of contact as Carolyn Schloemann. The solicitation and any subsequent contract aim to support the State’s operational needs for reliable and standardized XRF equipment to ensure environmental assessment and regulatory compliance.
