IOCI originally sought to procure the services of a vendor to replace the satellite controller which instructs the satellite antenna motor to move the dish that is located on the roof of the 120 W. Jefferson St., Springfield, IL 62702. The current controller is 30 years old and had stopped working, although the dish was still able to send and receive transmissions. IOCI and CMS Bureau of Strategic Sourcing (BOSS) attempted to procure the controller equipment via multiple requests for quotes (small purchases) with no success. On or about September 22, 2021, the dish was struck by lightning and is now unable to receive on the horizontal downlink. Because it is not possible to move the dish, it is now not possible to receive any signals.

In order to meet statutory requirements, it was determined that replacement of the entire system was in the best interest of the State. Based on the lack of success in replacing the satellite controller via a competitive process, IOCI contacted the vendor who installed the current satellite transmission equipment in the early 1990s to request a quote. The vendor was able to access their records and has a good understanding of the location of the equipment and what is needed to meet the State's needs and the vendor was willing to provide a quote for the new equipment.

Between October 1, 2021 and April 5, 2022, CMS engaged in negotiations with the satellite vendor and worked with the vendor, who is located in Texas, to complete paperwork required to contract in Illinois.

The BEP goals were calculated at 0% as there are no BEP vendors certified under the NIGP Codes below (CMS confirmed 07/07/2022 that no additional BEP certified vendors were added under the NIGP Codes below):

726-54 Ground Stations, Satellite: Transmit/Receive and Receive Only (Including Antennas) 840-20 Broadcast Equipment, Television 840-45 Satellite Receiver Dish (Video)

The engineering work related to the load frame was contracted with a BEP vendor and is complete. Construction- the intent was to conduct as a small purchase with emergency conditions and to award to an Illinois BEP Certified Vendor but based on the work of the engineer, the work is much more extensive than originally thought and the cost is likely to be $200,000 - $250,000.
