About this file

This is a Small Business Set-Aside Program Waiver document from the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, involving the Department of Agriculture (AGR) for a fire alarm panel repair at the Du Quoin Building and Grounds. The procurement is for a specific fire alarm panel replacement and installation by Johnson Controls, with an estimated dollar amount of $28,792.92, classified under NIGP Code 340-16. The document is dated 3/6/2025, with SPO approval on 3/24/2025.

The waiver provides justification for bypassing the small business set-aside requirement, noting that Johnson Controls currently inspects the fire alarm system, previously supplied the damaged panel, and can quickly provide an emergency replacement. The waiver was requested by Leke Hoxha, an Executive II at the Agriculture Department, and approved by both the Designated Agency (Michelle Grimsley) and the State Procurement Officer (Abigail K Bailey). The procurement is categorized under the "Other" justification for waiving the small business set-aside, with the primary rationale being the urgent nature of the repair and Johnson Controls' existing relationship with the facility.

SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PROGRAM WAIVER

State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services Small Business Set-Aside Program Waiver v.24.1

Original BidBuy BID Number: R-259204

* Use original BidBuy Requisition Number when the procurement is Designated to the Agency.

From CPO Notice # 2024.10:

The Chief Procurement Officer has established set-aside categories of construction, supplies and services that are set-aside for small businesses in Illinois. Procurements that are within the listed categories must be set-aside for small businesses, regardless of the dollar value of the contracts. Additionally, all purchases under the small purchase threshold are automatically set-aside for small businesses in Illinois.

Use of a Small Business Set-Aside Program Waiver requires agencies to have clear justification why a SBSP vendor was not appropriate for a set-aside award. The following are examples of guidelines that may be considered:

There is a need for a brand name product and there are no small businesses that provide the product.

Small Business vendors were solicited and no offers were received.

The supply base for the product or service includes several larger diversified vendors that can be counted toward the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575).

The supply base for the product or service includes several Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) that can be counted toward the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575).

The product or service is required to be purchased from Illinois Correctional Industries (30 ILCS 500/45-30).

There is an opportunity to establish a no-bid contract with a State Use vendor (30 ILCS 500/45-35). Provide more detail below.

The prices offered by qualified small businesses are substantially greater than the estimated dollar amount established prior to the solicitation being sent out. Provide more detail below.

Other. Provide more detail below.

Elaborate as necessary (required for last four check boxes):

Johnson Controls inspects the fire alarm at Du Quoin Building and Grounds and the fire alarm panel that was damaged was supplied by them. They will come repair and install a similar one. In addition to that, this purchase is a small purchase with emergency, therefore, Johnson Controls is able to provide and install this fire alarm panel fast.
