2026 Lottery NASPL Membership Dues

The Illinois Department of the Lottery is conducting a small purchase procurement with sole source conditions to acquire 2026 North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) Membership Dues. This procurement seeks to maintain the state's membership in NASPL, the national trade association representing lottery organizations across North America. The primary deliverable is the annual membership dues payment for 2026, which will enable continued participation in the association's programs, networking opportunities, and industry advocacy initiatives. The procurement was posted on December 22, 2025, with a submission deadline of December 26, 2025, providing a compressed timeline for proposal submission. No specific qualifications beyond the ability to provide NASPL membership services have been indicated in the available documentation. Evaluation criteria specific to this sole source procurement have not been detailed in the posted information.

The procurement structure as a small purchase with sole source conditions suggests that the Illinois Department of the Lottery has determined NASPL as the sole source capable of providing the required 2026 membership dues, thereby restricting competition to this single vendor. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted categories of respondents have been noted in the available documentation. NASPL, as the incumbent vendor providing these membership services, is the de facto current contractor for this arrangement. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in the posted opportunity, though typical annual membership dues for state lottery associations generally range based on organizational size and membership tier classifications.
