ALPLM - Lincoln Unlocked App Support (SP w/ SS Cond)

The State of Illinois is soliciting a small purchase with sole source conditions for Lincoln Unlocked App Support, with proposals due July 31, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement, which restricts competition to a vendor uniquely qualified to provide technical support and maintenance for the Lincoln Unlocked application platform.

The scope encompasses technical support and maintenance services for the Lincoln Unlocked application. Specific service-level deliverables, response times, and performance metrics are not detailed in the available procurement documents.

Vendors must certify compliance with 34 mandatory Illinois certification standards covering educational loan defaults, pension incentive restrictions, legal entity status, collective bargaining obligations, criminal history disclosures, environmental violations, anti-competitive practices, drug-free workplace requirements, equal employment opportunity compliance, restrictions on political contributions and lobbying activities, steel product manufacturing standards, forced labor and child labor prohibitions, lead poisoning mitigation, IT accessibility standards, employment posting requirements through IllinoisJobLink.com, and cybersecurity directives. For contracts exceeding one year in initial or renewal terms, vendors must provide annual certifications by January 1 of each fiscal year. Subcontractors are subject to identical certification requirements. False certifications expose vendors to contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, and criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act.

Contract value, term length, and place of performance are not specified in the posted materials. No incumbent contractor is identified. No evaluation criteria weighting, pre-bid meeting, site visit, or question deadline is documented in the available files.
