This is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation document issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services (CPO-GS). The designation authorizes the Illinois Department of Corrections to conduct small purchase procurements in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10 and BidBuy job aids for small purchasing. The document was signed 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 designation became effective on March 6, 2024.

The authorization granted permits the Illinois Department of Corrections to execute small purchase activities and functions as designated by the State Purchasing Officer, subject to oversight by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and the State Purchasing Officer. This designation remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, or unless it is revoked in writing by the CPO-GS, SPO, or Agency Director. No specific goods, services, pricing terms, or contract amounts are detailed in this document, as it serves solely as a procurement authority designation rather than a contract for particular commodities or services.
