SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE PROGRAM WAIVER

From CPO Notice # 2016.03 August 24, 2015:

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:

The product or service is provided by a large business sole source vendor.

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

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