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 (CCC) system, located in Chicago, Illinois. The form is designed to allow companies to formally object to a Sole Source procurement announcement. The template permits objecting companies to challenge the designation of a proposed awardee and assert their capability to provide equivalent or superior services at a price equal to or below the quoted price. The form requests standard company and contact information, including company name, representative name, phone number, and email address, to facilitate communication regarding the objection.

The form does not specify pricing details, set-asides, or funding amounts as it is a procedural template rather than a specific solicitation document. Objecting companies must complete the form with the relevant Sole Source Number, proposed awardee name, Sole Source release date, and service description specific to the procurement they wish to challenge. The form requests a hearing to discuss the objection matters, suggesting that CCC permits formal dispute resolution for Sole Source determinations. This template relates to a Sole Source Public Review for a Civil Rights educational travel experience opportunity in Illinois.
