About this file
This Sole Source Hearing Details Form pertains to the Illinois Secretary of State's procurement of mission critical hardware and z16 mainframe maintenance and support services from IBM. The contract is structured as a sole source agreement with a term running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The procurement encompasses ongoing maintenance and technical support services for the state's IBM mainframe infrastructure, which is deemed mission critical to operations.
The total contract value is $748,266.48 for the specified one-year term. IBM has been identified as the sole source provider based on justification documentation that accompanies this hearing details form, indicating that IBM's systems and expertise are uniquely suited to support the state's existing mainframe environment. No renewal options are specified in the available information. This sole source procurement approach requires the submission of both the Sole Source Justification Form and the Sole Source Hearing Details Form to document the rationale for bypassing competitive procurement procedures.
