2020 Association of Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC) - Annual Dues

This state and/or local contracting opportunity is for the annual dues payment to the Association of Small Business Development Centers (ASBDC) by the State of Illinois. The procurement is classified as a Small Purchase with Sole Source Conditions, indicating it is a limited competition contract due to the specialized nature of the services. The procurement is being conducted by the State of Illinois, with a posted date of April 9, 2021 and a due date of April 14, 2021, allowing for a very short turnaround. The required deliverables are the payment of the annual association dues, which are necessary to maintain Illinois' membership and participation in the ASBDC. No specific evaluation criteria are provided, but the sole source designation suggests this is a routine, non-competitive procurement.

This opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The sole source nature of the procurement indicates there is likely an incumbent vendor or contractor currently providing these association membership services to the State of Illinois. No information is provided about the award value or budget range for this annual dues payment, but it can be reasonably assumed to be a standard, recurring expense for the state government.
