About this file

This document is a Procurement Justification Form for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to procure 11x17 paper. The procurement is necessary due to the poor quality of recycled paper currently used, which causes frequent jams and issues on the agency's newer copiers, resulting in waste and increased costs. The paper is used for various DCFS materials including pamphlets, brochures, and form applications. While the cost of the paper is less than the master contract, the issues with the recycled paper have a significant operational impact on the agency. The procurement does not appear to be subject to any special conditions or set-asides. The justification indicates this is an ongoing need procured periodically rather than a one-time purchase.
