1-Objection template.docx

This is an objection form template issued by Business and Procurement Services at Dawson Technical Institute, part of the City Colleges of Chicago, located at 3901 S. State Street in Chicago, Illinois. The template is designed to allow companies to formally object to sole source procurement announcements. Companies using this form can challenge proposed sole source awards and request a hearing to present alternative capabilities or pricing. The form requires submission of the company name, sole source number, proposed awardee name, sole source release date, and a statement of the objecting company's ability to provide equivalent services at a price equal to or below the quoted price. Contact information including company name, representative name, phone number, and email address must be provided to facilitate communication regarding the objection and hearing request.

The objection form does not specify pricing terms, contract amounts, set-asides, or other financial details, as it serves as a procedural document for challenging procurement decisions rather than establishing contract terms. Submissions should be directed to Business and Procurement Services at procurementservices@ccc.edu or by phone at (312) 553-2590. This template applies to the specific sole source announcement for the MX Study Abroad Muna Tree Rwanda Amendment procurement opportunity within the Illinois jurisdiction.
