State Agency Small Purchase Designation Summary

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 the Illinois Department of Corrections as an authorized agency to conduct small purchase procurements in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10. The designation was authorized by State Purchasing Officer Jennifer Allen on March 1, 2024, and was 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 the Illinois Department of Corrections procurement authority to execute small purchase transactions and utilize BidBuy job aids for small purchasing activities. This authority remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, and it remains subject to oversight by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and the State Purchasing Officer. The authority may be revoked at any time in writing by the CPO-GS, SPO, or Agency Director. No specific goods, services, pricing, or contract amounts are detailed in this authorization document, as it serves solely to delegate procurement authority rather than define specific procurement activities.
