About this file
This document is a Notice to Bidders and Offerors issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (CPO) for General Services pursuant to CPO Notice 2023.12. The notice establishes submission requirements for all State of Illinois agencies conducting competitive solicitations, including Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP).
All bidders and offerors are required to submit responses exclusively through BidBuy, the State's electronic submission platform. Manual submissions via paper, USB drives, DVDs, or delivery methods such as US Mail, FedEx, UPS, or hand delivery will not be accepted or considered. Submissions must be received through BidBuy on or before the deadline specified in the Bid Opening section of the solicitation, and all required attachments must be submitted through the same platform. 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 lock automatically upon submission, while pricing submitted as attachments must be uploaded under the "Required Documents" section with the box checked indicating the attachment contains pricing information. Failure to check this box may result in pricing visibility at bid opening and potential disqualification of the offer.

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.
