About this file

This is a Brand Name Only Justification Form submitted to the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services under requisition/bid number 27-426DOC-DANVI-R-334690. The requesting buyer is Darren Hackett, and the form was completed and signed by Sandy Robinson II on behalf of Agency Procurement Officer Wilson on August 14, 2026. The justification is being submitted in accordance with Section 1.2050 d) of the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services Standard Procurement Rules and the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500/20-50).

The procurement requests authorization to specify General Formulations GF201 vinyl media on a brand name only basis rather than allowing equivalent substitutes. GF201 is a 3.4 mil polymeric matte white calendered vinyl with a clear permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive laminated to a 90-pound layflat liner. The agency's justification for the brand name only specification is to ensure compatibility of the vinyl media with large format printers' settings and to maintain image quality and consistency. The primary reason selected was "to ensure compatibility in existing systems." The State Purchasing Officer determination section remains unsigned and incomplete, indicating the request awaits final approval authority decision on whether to approve the brand name only specification or require a brand name or equal specification instead.
