About this file
This is a Vendor Qualifications Certification attachment for a Communications and Advertising Services for Medicaid Outreach contract issued by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS). The contract number is 2026-00-025, and the solicitation number is 26-478HFS-DIREC-B-51797. HFS is seeking an external public relations firm to provide statewide advertising and communications services to support the federal HR1 law implementation for the Illinois Medicaid program, with the primary objective of ensuring current Medicaid customers maintain their coverage. The solicitation requires vendors to submit qualifications documentation demonstrating their experience and capability to execute this engagement.
The certification attachment establishes mandatory responsiveness requirements that vendors must satisfy to be considered eligible. Vendors must have been in continuous operation providing communications and advertising services for at least five consecutive years immediately preceding the bid opening date, either under their current legal entity or a legally continuous predecessor entity. Additionally, vendors must demonstrate public sector campaign experience by documenting at least three qualifying campaigns performed as the prime contractor, each involving paid media planning and placement as well as plain-language and accessibility considerations. The attachment requires vendors to certify that all information submitted is true, accurate, and complete, and notifies bidders that failure to meet any requirement or submission of false information will render the bid non-responsive. The Agency will conduct pass-fail determinations based on submitted information and factual verification using publicly available or other reliable sources.
