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. The document was signed by State Purchasing Officer Jennifer Allen 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 the Illinois Department of Corrections procurement authority to execute small purchases and utilize BidBuy job aids for small purchasing activities. This authority remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or new Agency Head is assigned to the agency. The designation is subject to oversight by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and the State Purchasing Officer, and may be revoked at any time by the CPO-GS, SPO, or Agency Director in writing. No specific goods, services, pricing terms, or monetary limits are detailed in this authorization document, as it serves solely to delegate small purchase authority to the agency for future procurement activities.
