PO27-193 CQI Conference Registrations

The State of Illinois, through its Procurement organization (PROCUREMENT418), awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to the University of Illinois on October 13, 2026, with a contract completion date of October 14, 2026. The contract, identified as 27-418DCFS-PROCU-P-101793, is valued at $4,775.00 and falls under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) category 96337, classified as Fees for Conference/Convention services. The exceptionally compressed performance period of one day suggests this contract addresses a time-sensitive conference or convention fee obligation.

The contract is governed by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which establish uniform contractual requirements applicable to all state entities. Key provisions include compliance with the State Prompt Payment Act, a $15 Minority Contractor Initiative fee applicable to contracts of $1,000 or more, insurance requirements including general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, a three-year record retention obligation, and exclusive intellectual property ownership vesting in the State. The contract's limited scope and duration indicate this represents a specialized, time-bound procurement rather than an ongoing service delivery arrangement.
