This document is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services (CPO-GS). The authorization designates the Illinois Department of Corrections as a procurement authority to conduct small purchase procurements in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10 and BidBuy job aids. The State Purchasing Officer, Jennifer Allen, authorized this designation on September 11, 2024, with approval from Latoya Hughes, Acting Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, on March 1, 2024. The designation became effective on March 6, 2024, and remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, subject to revocation by the CPO-GS, State Purchasing Officer, or Agency Director at any time.

This designation grants the Illinois Department of Corrections authority to execute small purchase procurements without additional procurement oversight. The document does not specify particular goods, services, pricing terms, set-asides, or contract amounts, as it serves as a blanket authorization enabling the agency to conduct procurement activities within the parameters established by CPO Notice 2024.10. The authorization remains valid under current leadership and supersedes any prior designations.
