Invitation For Bid Vendor Checklist~13.docx

This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) Vendor Checklist issued by the State of Illinois for prospective vendors participating in the procurement process through Bidbuy. The document serves as a pre-submission verification tool to ensure vendors have completed all necessary requirements before submitting their bids.

The checklist requires vendors to submit pricing through Bidbuy's items tab and provide multiple completed and signed documents in the Attachments section, including the contract offer, vendor disclosure forms (either formerly Forms A for non-IPG registered vendors or formerly Forms B for active IPG registrants), BEP plans where applicable, product specifications, and relevant vendor experience documentation. Additionally, vendors must complete mandatory state registrations including Illinois Board of Elections registration, Secretary of State registration to conduct business in Illinois (except for sole proprietorships), IDHR Number registration for companies with 15 or more employees, and maintain valid and current IPG (Illinois Procurement Gateway) registration if submitting formerly Forms B. Vendors must verify submission of their quote through the Bidbuy system and confirm all registrations are active and current before the bid deadline.
