Standard Terms~89.pdf

This document is the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for state and local contracts, issued by the Chief Procurement Office General Services. It establishes the uniform legal framework and mandatory requirements applicable to all vendors entering into contracts with the State of Illinois and its agencies. The terms and conditions apply to contracts for supplies, services, and goods across all state departments and entities.

The document does not specify particular goods, services, pricing, or contract amounts, as it serves as a standard template governing contractual relationships rather than defining specific procurement details. Instead, it establishes mandatory provisions including payment terms compliant with the State Prompt Payment Act, prevailing wage requirements for applicable work categories, record retention obligations of three to five years depending on federal funding involvement, insurance requirements (general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate), indemnification clauses protecting the State, intellectual property ownership rights vesting exclusively with the State, and compliance requirements with federal, state, and local laws. The terms provide the State authority to terminate contracts for cause or convenience with thirty days' notice, prohibit contract assignment without written consent, require prior approval for subcontractors, mandate background checks at State discretion, and subject all contracts to Illinois Freedom of Information Act requirements and Court of Claims jurisdiction. Additional provisions address confidentiality, independent contractor status, employment tax credits for qualified veterans, and contingency upon appropriation of funds by the Illinois General Assembly.
