This is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation document issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. The document authorizes the Illinois Department of Corrections to conduct small purchase procurement activities in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10 and BidBuy job aids for small purchasing. The designation was executed by Jennifer Allen, State Purchasing Officer, on March 1, 2024, and approved by Latoya Hughes, Acting Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, on the same date. The authorization became effective on March 6, 2024.

The designation grants the Illinois Department of Corrections procurement authority to execute small purchase transactions as defined in CPO Notice 2024.10. This authority remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, and may be revoked at any time by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, the State Purchasing Officer, or the Agency Director. The document contains no pricing terms, goods or services specifications, option periods, or renewal provisions, as it serves solely as authorization documentation for the agency to conduct small purchase activities within established state procurement parameters.
