About this file

This document is a Notice of Electronic Submission Only issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, effective version 23.1. It applies to all State agencies conducting competitive solicitations, including Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP). The notice establishes mandatory electronic submission procedures pursuant to CPO Notice 2023.12 and supersedes any conflicting instructions contained in individual solicitation documents.

All bidders and offerors are required to submit responses exclusively through BidBuy, the State's electronic submission platform, by the deadline specified in each solicitation's Bid Opening section. Manual submissions via mail, courier services, or hand delivery will not be accepted or considered. For RFPs, vendors must enter pricing either on the items tab or in pricing attachments according to RFP instructions. Price entries on the items tab are locked automatically upon submission. When pricing is submitted as an attachment, vendors must upload documents under the "Required Documents" section and check the box indicating pricing information is present; failure to do so may result in offer disqualification. All required attachments must be submitted through BidBuy, and RFPs no longer require submissions through separate BidBuy Bid numbers, as the system now allows price locking to enable technical proposal evaluation before pricing review.

State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services Attachment – Notice of Electronic Submission Only V.23.1

Notice to Bidders and Offerors Regarding Acceptance of Only Electronic

Submissions

Pursuant to CPO Notice 2023.12, State agencies shall only accept electronic submissions for competitive solicitations (Invitation for Bid (IFB) and Request for Proposal (RFP)) through

BidBuy. Manual submissions in paper format or on electronic medium, for example USB drives or digital video discs (DVD), shall not be accepted nor considered.

When this notice is attached to the published solicitation, bidders and offerors are:

• notified and required to submit their response to the State’s solicitation through

BidBuy. Any information sent to the State outside of BidBuy, for example by US Mail, FedEx, UPS or hand delivery, will neither be accepted nor considered.

• notified that the requirement to submit electronic responses supersedes any conflicting instruction or information contained in the IFB or RFP. The IFB and RFP contain instructions when submitting bids or offers in paper format. These instructions do not apply and should not be considered as they may cause confusion.

• notified that submissions will only be considered if they are received through BidBuy and on or before the time and date indicated in the Bid Opening section within the solicitation. Any required attachments must be submitted via BidBuy.

NOTE: Requests for Proposals no longer require vendors to submit documents through two separate BidBuy Bid numbers. BidBuy is now capable of “locking” price so that pricing proposals may be viewed only after the evaluation of technical proposals. When responding to an RFP, Vendors shall enter pricing either on the items tab or in pricing attachments, depending upon the instructions provided in the pricing section of the RFP document.

Price entries on the items tab will be locked automatically upon submission of the offer. If the agency requires pricing to be submitted in an attachment, Vendor shall upload pricing under the

“Required Documents” section on the attachments tab and check the box “Does the Attachment contain any pricing, cost or discount information?”. Failure to check this box allows your pricing to be viewed when bids are opened and may result in disqualification of your offer.
