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 purchases in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10. The authorization was granted 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 authorization permits the Illinois Department of Corrections to execute small purchase procurements and utilize BidBuy job aids for small purchasing activities. This designation remains valid unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, and it remains subject to oversight by the CPO-GS and State Purchasing Officer. The authority may be revoked at any time by the CPO-GS, State Purchasing Officer, or Agency Director through written notice. No specific goods, services, pricing terms, or dollar limitations are detailed in this designation document, as it serves primarily as a grant of procurement authority rather than a contract for specific deliverables.
