State Agency Small Purchase Designation Signed 2024~47.pdf

This is a State Agency Small Purchase Designation document issued by the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (DCMS). The document designates certain procurements as small purchases, which are exempt from competitive bidding requirements under Illinois Procurement Code. The file establishes approval authority for purchases under the small purchase threshold, allowing state agencies to procure goods and services through simplified purchasing procedures. The designation applies to purchases made during the 2024 fiscal year and identifies which state agencies and their authorized representatives are permitted to utilize small purchase procedures for acquisitions that fall below the statutory threshold amount.

The small purchase designation streamlines the procurement process by reducing administrative burden and expediting delivery of goods and services to state agencies. This authority permits qualified agencies to make direct purchases without soliciting competitive bids, provided purchases remain within the established monetary limits. The document serves as formal authorization enabling state agencies to exercise simplified procurement procedures while maintaining fiscal accountability and compliance with state purchasing regulations. No specific renewal options, contract terms, or pricing structures are outlined in this designation document, as it functions as a procedural authorization rather than a specific contract opportunity or procurement solicitation.
