SS BPCSS Pharmacy ATP Supplies FY27

The Illinois Department of Human Services, Office of Clinical, Administrative and Program Support (444OCAPS) awarded a sole source contract to Parata Systems LLC valued at $400,000 for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The contract procurement reference number is 27-444DHS-444OC-P-94700, and the award was approved by Chief Procurement Officer Ellen H. Daley on April 9, 2026. The award was justified on the basis of equipment compatibility and vendor exclusivity, as Parata Systems is the sole authorized supplier of proprietary consumable materials for ATP medication repackaging machines.

The specific deliverables consist of pharmaceutical packaging supplies required to support ATP medication repackaging operations across Department of Human Services facility pharmacies statewide. The contract includes 561 cases of ATP-R65WR ATP Wide Ribbon at $179.57 per case, 558 cases of ETP-WP ATP2 Wide Paper, Extra Long at $515.26 per case, and approximately $11,746.15 in shipping costs, with a 10% vendor discount applied to the total purchase price. Use of alternative materials would void service, maintenance, and warranty agreements with Parata Systems. This contract continues a procurement relationship established through four prior contracts totaling $1,029,200 from 2022 through 2026, with funding provided through state appropriated funds.
