About this file
This document is a Decision Memorandum from the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) addressing the Veteran Small Business Program Subcontracting Participation Goal for the IFB BPCSS Pharmacy ATP2 Supplies procurement, identified by BidBuy number R-258633. The memorandum, dated March 24, 2025, details a request for exemption from the state's requirement to allocate 3% of the total contract dollar amount to Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB).
The justification for the exemption is based on a search of the Supplier Diversity management portal, which revealed no VOSB vendors registered under commodity codes 271.88. The document includes approval signatures from the Agency Purchasing Officer (Jean Sandstrom) and the Agency Head or designee, both of whom approved the recommendation to seek an exemption from the VOSB goal requirement due to the lack of available veteran-owned small business vendors for this specific procurement.

D e c i s i o n M e m o r a n d u m Veteran Small Business Program Subcontracting Participation Goal
Project Title:
BidBuy #:
Date:
IFB BPCSS Pharmacy ATP2 Supplies
R-#258633
Completed by: J.D. Baumgartner, DHS Procurement Office
ISSUE
30ILCS 500/45-57 requires that not less than 3% of the total dollar amount of State contracts shall be established as a goal to be awarded to Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB). A contract may be exempt from the goal prior to the solicitation being pursuant to 44 Ill. Admin. Code 20.120 or because there is an insufficient number of veteran-owned small businesses in the relevant service commodity codes to ensure competition and an expectation of reasonable prices.
JUSTIFICATION
The Supplier Diversity management portal was searched and no VOSB vendors were found registered under commodity codes 271.88.
RECOMMENDATION
Because there are no VOSB vendors available to solicit I am requesting an exemption from the VOSB goal requirement for this procurement.
