1 agency small purchase designation~92.pdf

This document is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation 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 State Purchasing Officer, Jennifer Allen, signed the authorization on March 1, 2024, and the agency head, Latoya Hughes (Acting Director), approved the designation on the same date. The designation became effective on March 6, 2024, and remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, or the authority is revoked by the CPO-GS, the SPO, or the Agency Director.

The designation grants the Illinois Department of Corrections authority to execute small purchase procurements using BidBuy job aids for small purchasing. The document does not specify particular goods, services, pricing terms, contract amounts, or renewal options, as it serves as a procurement authority delegation rather than a specific contract award. The authorization is subject to the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and State Purchasing Officer authority and may be revoked in writing at any time by those officials or the Agency Director.
