About this file
This document is a decision memorandum from the state of Illinois regarding a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VSB) subcontracting participation goal for an Agilent Service Contract for lab equipment. The contract (Bid #25-532EPA-LAB53-B-46818) has an estimated value of $293,057.86 and a contract term of 3 years, utilizing NIGP Code 963-91. The procurement seeks to address state requirements under 30 ILCS 500/45-57, which mandates that at least 3% of state contract dollars be allocated to veteran-owned small businesses.
The memorandum reveals that among 54 total registered vendors, zero veteran businesses are registered in the relevant service/commodity code (963-91). As a result, the recommendation is to publish the solicitation on BidBuy without a VSB subcontracting participation goal, effectively seeking an exemption from the veteran-owned small business participation requirement due to insufficient vendor representation. Questions regarding the procurement can be directed to Andrew Shackelford at the provided contact information.
