1 Agency Small Purchase Designation Signed.pdf

This document is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services (CPO-GS). It designates procurement authority to the Illinois Department of Corrections, authorizing the agency to conduct small purchase procurements in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10 and BidBuy job aids for small purchasing. The designation was authorized by State Purchasing Officer Jennifer Allen on March 1, 2024, and accepted by Latoya Hughes, Acting Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, on the same date. The designation became effective on March 6, 2024.

The authorization grants the Illinois Department of Corrections the ability to execute small purchase procurements independently, subject to the parameters outlined in CPO Notice 2024.10. The designation 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, State Purchasing Officer, or Agency Director upon written notice. No specific goods, services, pricing terms, set-asides, or dollar amounts are detailed in this document, as it serves solely as a procedural authorization designating procurement authority rather than establishing a specific contract for goods or services.
