1-Objection template.docx

This is an objection form template provided by the Business and Procurement Services department at Dawson Technical Institute, part of the City Colleges of Chicago system, located in Chicago, Illinois. The template is designed for companies to formally object to Sole Source procurement announcements. Companies using this form can challenge proposed sole source awards by asserting their capability to provide equivalent or superior services at an equal or lower cost. The objection process allows companies to request a hearing to discuss their concerns regarding the sole source designation and the proposed awardee.

The template requires objecting companies to provide standard identification information including company name, contact person, phone number, and email address, along with the specific sole source number and release date being contested. The form is submitted to the procurement office at the address and contact information provided. This particular template relates to a Sole Source Public Review for EV Infrastructure Training associated with a program to convert diesel vehicles to electric vehicles in Illinois, though the template itself serves as a general objection mechanism for any sole source procurement challenge within the City Colleges of Chicago procurement process.
