About this file
This document is a Procurement Justification Form for the State of Illinois related to the purchase of a left-handed keyboard to provide a reasonable accommodation for a one-armed candidate taking a keyboarding examination. The state is required to provide this accommodation via a legislative mandate to use the WinCATS automated computer system for screening, testing, scoring, and grading job applicants. The state is legally obligated to provide this accommodation, and failure to do so could result in non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and potential legal repercussions.
The purchase is a small purchase, with no special conditions applicable. There are no details provided on pricing, set asides, incumbents, or funding requirements. The justification indicates this is a one-time purchase to meet a specific accommodation need for an individual candidate.
