This file is a Certified Firms Directory listing Business Enterprise Program (BEP) registered firms eligible for contract B-50441 as of December 22, 2025, compiled by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity in connection with the FY27-32 Travel Magazine Development and Printing contract opportunity. The directory contains 57 certified firms specializing in advertising, marketing, media production, photography, graphic design, and related creative services. These firms represent a range of business sizes and service offerings, including full-service advertising agencies, digital marketing firms, photography studios, print communications companies, and video production services. The majority of firms are located in Illinois, particularly in Cook County and the Chicago metropolitan area, with several additional firms based in neighboring states including Indiana, New Jersey, Maryland, Missouri, and Texas. Contact information for each firm includes business names, primary contacts, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, and websites where available.

The directory serves as a pre-qualified vendor list for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Office of Tourism in their procurement of services related to the development, production, advertising sales, promotion, and printing of the biannual "Enjoy Illinois" travel magazine. All listed firms meet the state's Business Enterprise Program certification requirements, indicating they have been vetted for eligibility and compliance with applicable state regulations. The directory provides government procurement officials and project managers with readily accessible contact information and business details necessary for soliciting proposals, obtaining quotes, or awarding contracts to certified vendors. This pre-qualification approach streamlines the procurement process by establishing a pool of approved vendors available for the travel magazine project and potentially related marketing and creative services contracts.
