About this file
This document is a guideline issued for the state of Illinois regarding the use of JPMC (JPMorgan Chase) service contracts by state agencies. The guidance applies to multiple-award contracts established under 44 Illinois Administrative Code 1.2036(b) and establishes a hierarchical vendor utilization process for state agencies procuring services through these contracts.
The guidelines establish a tiered vendor system where state agencies must contact the Primary Vendor first for service estimates, with the option to escalate to Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary vendors only under specific circumstances: vendor declination, inability to meet time constraints, or failure to acknowledge requests within specified timeframes. The document requires vendors to submit detailed quotes broken down by labor classifications (basic/journeyman and foreman hours), itemized material lists, and allows agencies to verify material pricing for markup verification and compare quotes against industry standards. Notably, hourly rate differences alone do not justify moving between vendor tiers. The guidelines mandate that all vendor communications and declined work correspondence be attached to requisitions when escalating to subsequent vendors. Only after exhausting all contracted JPMC vendors may agencies conduct independent solicitations, provided they maintain documentation of all prior vendor contact attempts.

JPMC Service Contracts - Use by State Agencies When JPMC service contracts are done as multiple awards, per 44 Il Admin 1.2036(b), one vendor shall be designated as the primary recipient of orders. The other awardees (Secondary, Tertiary, etc.) may receive orders in the event the Primary Vendor is unable to meet the terms of the contract. The following guidelines shall be followed by State Agencies when using these contracts:
1. Contact the Primary Vendor for the service and have them submit an estimate of the hours and materials required for the work.
2. If the Primary Vendor cannot meet the terms of the contract for any of the following reasons, the Agency may move to the Secondary Vendor.
A) Vendor declines the work, or B) Vendor cannot meet the time constraints of the work required (I.E. year-end date), or C) Outside of Emergency Requests - Vendor does not acknowledge the request for an estimate within the time frame outlined in the contract or the time frame outlined by the agency in the request for quote, whichever is longer.
The same process will be used down the line to Tertiary and Quaternary.
3. All communications with awarded vendors, including emails sent and not answered, emails stating they are declining the work, etc. shall be attached to the Requisition (REQ) when moving to the next awarded vendor.
For Example: A) If both the Primary and Secondary Vendor decline the work, any email correspondence with this information to and from both vendors must be attached to the REQ to have the Tertiary Vendor complete the work.
4. Vendor should supply the quote with labor hour broken out by basic/journeyman and foreman hours as per contract pricing.
5. Vendor should provide a listing of materials that will be required for the repair. Per the contract, Agencies have a right to request a copy of the Vendor’s material pricing (invoices/quotes) for verification of no mark-up.
6. Per the contract, Agencies have the right to verify quotes if the hours quoted or required materials appear to be extremely high compared to industry standard.
7. Hourly rates are NOT a reason to move from Primary to Secondary and so on down the line.
8. If all JPMC Vendors have been exhausted through the above means, then the agency may do their own solicitation; however, they must still attach all required items above to the new REQ.
