STATE AGENCY SMALL PURCHASE DESIGNATION

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

The designation grants procurement authority to the Illinois Department of Corrections to execute small purchase procurements independently, subject to oversight by the CPO-GS and SPO. This authority remains in effect unless a new SPO or Agency Head is assigned, and may be revoked at any time in writing by the CPO-GS, SPO, or Agency Director. No specific goods, services, pricing terms, or contract amounts are specified in this authorization document, as it serves solely to establish the agency's delegated purchasing authority rather than define individual contract terms or deliverables.
