State Agency Small Purchase Designation Signed_06Mar2024~14.pdf

This document is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. The designation authorizes the Illinois Department of Corrections to conduct small purchases in accordance with CPO Notice 2024.10. The authorization was granted by Jennifer Allen, State Purchasing Officer, and approved by Latoya Hughes, Acting Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections. The designation became effective on March 6, 2024, and remains in effect unless a new State Purchasing Officer or Agency Head is assigned, or the designation is revoked by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, State Purchasing Officer, or Agency Director.

The designation grants procurement authority to the Illinois Department of Corrections to execute small purchase procurements and utilize BidBuy job aids for small purchasing activities. This authority is subject to ongoing oversight by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services and the State Purchasing Officer, who retain the right to revoke the designation at any time through written notice. No specific dollar thresholds, goods, services, pricing terms, or renewal periods are detailed in this authorization document, as it serves solely as a procedural designation of purchasing authority rather than a substantive contract award.
