About this file
This is a Vendor Answer Sheet issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services to assess vendor commitment to diversity and equity initiatives in response to the IDFPR Cannabis Media Campaign RFP. The form evaluates vendors across multiple diversity categories, including Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal compliance, subcontracting relationships with women, minority, and disability-owned businesses (WMDB), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) spending and time commitments, DEI policies, and staffing diversity metrics. Vendors must document whether they have met established BEP goals or completed a Good Faith Effort Waiver, list any prior-year contracts with WMDB vendors with service descriptions and costs, provide documentation of DEI-related spending and volunteer hours, and submit written copies of organizational DEI policies. Required supporting documentation must be uploaded with the technical and pricing bids as a single attachment labeled "Commitment to Diversity" in either zip file or PDF portfolio format with clearly labeled documents.
The staffing diversity section requires vendors to calculate and report the percentage of women, minority, and disability-owned individuals employed in five role categories: Governing Board, Management/Supervisors, Senior Executives, Supervisors, and Staff, with calculations performed by dividing WMD staff by total staff in each role and rounding up to the nearest whole percent. Verification of all claimed information is required, with vendors instructed to attach receipts for DEI spending, contracts, time spent references, event documentation, DEI policy screenshots, and staffing lists. An authorized officer or employee must sign and date the form, certifying that all statements are true and accurate. The form structure includes checkboxes and data fields for tracking completion of each diversity component, with specific instructions on acceptable documentation formats and the requirement that all materials be submitted as part of the bidding package.
