Document Summary
This is a Brand Name Only Justification Form submitted to the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services by the Department of Corrections (Danville ICI). The form was prepared by Agency Procurement Officer Amanda Hardwick for APO Wilson on behalf of requester Darren Hackett under Req/Bid Number 26-426DOC-DANVI-R-320338. The justification seeks approval to procure goods using a brand name only specification rather than allowing equivalent alternatives, in accordance with Section 1.2050(d) of the Chief Procurement Officer Standard Procurement Rules and the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500/20-50).
The procurement concerns Emsig buttons available through usbutton.com in three specific models and colors: 20L Niagara Tw M4419 (Grey), 20L Niagara Tw M8104 (White), and 20L Niagara Tw M4703 (Black). The agency identified compatibility with existing systems as the primary justification for the brand-specific requirement. The stated business rationale is that these exact Emsig button models and colors are necessary to ensure precise color matching and button type compatibility for security staff uniforms—specifically white shirts and grey shirts—being manufactured by Danville ICI. The State Purchasing Officer determination section remains unsigned and incomplete as of the document date of May 11, 2026.
