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 state agency with procurement authority to conduct small purchases in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10. The designation was authorized by Jennifer Allen, State Purchasing Officer, on March 1, 2024, and was accepted by Latoya Hughes, Acting Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, on the same date. The designation became effective on March 6, 2024.

Under this authority, the Illinois Department of Corrections is empowered to execute small purchase procurements and utilize BidBuy job aids for small purchasing activities. 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 in writing. This authority grants the agency autonomy to manage its small purchase procurement functions while remaining subject to oversight by the CPO-GS and SPO.
