ExplanationForSelectingVendor: The FAFSA Student Support Strategy project grant allows ISAC to use funds for advertising campaigns for FAFSA completion support events and information. Initially, Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) was providing the advertising services (through a contract IBHE already had with Flowers Communications Group) for ISAC by means of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA).

IBHE’s contract has reached it maximum amount so ISAC can no longer obtain advertising services using IBHE.

Flowers Communications Group has the information & materials for the advertising campaign already so it the quickest and most cost efficient to continue with obtaining advertising and marketing services through them. Flowers has already developed creative content for these campaigns. It is most efficacious and cost-effective to hire Flowers to continue the campaign through the fall.

The funding for the procurement is a federal grant (being handled though Education Credit Management Corp, ECMC) so if ISAC does not use the emergency quick purchase method, we will have no advertising services in place before the funds expire.

ExplanationSuppliesServices: Marketing and advertising services for the FAFSA Student Support Campaign. This includes targeted paid advertising and continuation of the statewide marketing campaign that was already developed in collaboration with IBHE and ISAC. This advertising shall include billboards, geotargeting colleges, search and email ads, social media, and streaming audio.
TextField1: The vendor, Flowers Communications Group, Inc., is a certified BEP vendor.
