SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PROGRAM WAIVER

From CPO Notice # 2016.03 August 24, 2015:

The Chief Procurement Officer has established set-aside categories of construction, supplies and services that are set-aside for small businesses in Illinois. Procurements that are within the listed categories must be set-aside for small businesses, regardless of the dollar value of the contracts. Additionally, all purchases under the small purchase threshold are automatically set-aside for small businesses in Illinois.

Use of a Small Business Set-Aside Program Waiver requires agencies to have clear justification why a SBSP vendor was not appropriate for a set-aside award. The following are examples of guidelines that may be considered:

The product or service is provided by a large business sole source vendor.

There is a need for a brand name product and there are no small businesses that provide the product.

There is an opportunity to establish a no-bid contract with a State Use vendor (30 ILCS 500/45-35). Provide more detail below.

The supply base for the product or service includes several larger diversified vendors that can be counted toward the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575).

The product or service is required to be purchased from Illinois Correctional Industries (30 ILCS 500/45-30).

Small Business vendors were solicited and no offers were received.

The prices offered by qualified small businesses are substantially greater than the estimated dollar amount established prior to the solicitation being sent out. Provide more detail below.
