This is a Small Purchase with Sole Source or Immediate Need Conditions document issued by the Office of the Secretary of State, Budget & Fiscal Management Department of the State of Illinois. The responsible entity is the Department of Physical Services, operating under obligation number LAB-06-0103. The vendor selected for this purchase is Ron Furman and Sons, with delivery to the Department of Physical Services' Laborers Division in Springfield, Illinois, under the direction of requestor Dennis Watkins.

The purchase covers 750 gallons of bulk asphalt sealer required to seal asphalt parking lots R and S as part of ongoing asphalt repairs and maintenance. The estimated value of this purchase is $3,375.00. The justification for the sole source designation is that Ron Furman and Sons stores sealer in bulk quantities, providing the flexibility to accommodate the agency's variable daily needs ranging from one to more than 100 gallons, thereby avoiding the need to maintain 275-gallon storage tanks on site. The vendor's previous purchase history with the agency includes transactions dating back to fiscal year 2026 for similar sealing services at various state facilities. The purchase was requisitioned on June 23, 2026, and represents an immediate operational need to prevent additional damage and material costs associated with unsealed asphalt parking lots.
