Cable/Dish TV services- 1 year - IVHQ

The State of Illinois, through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services on behalf of the Health and Family Services (HFS) agency, is soliciting a small purchase with sole source conditions for Cable/Dish TV services for a one-year term at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (IVHQ). The procurement requires vendors to provide cable and dish television services sufficient to meet the facility's operational and resident needs. Vendors must comply with all 34 distinct certification requirements outlined in the 2026 Standard Illinois Certifications form, including non-delinquency on educational loans, absence of felony convictions within the past five years, compliance with collective bargaining agreements, non-delinquency on state debts, Illinois Use Tax remittance, environmental compliance, drug-free workplace provisions, equal employment opportunity practices, cybersecurity compliance, and political contribution restrictions. The solicitation was posted on December 24, 2025, with a proposal due date of December 26, 2025, providing an extremely compressed timeline for vendor submission. Vendors must submit all required certifications and compliance documentation by the deadline, as failure to certify truthfully or remain in compliance may result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, and criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act.

The procurement does not indicate specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or veteran-owned businesses, though the contracting opportunity notes zero percent utilization under both the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veterans Business Program (VBP). No incumbent vendor or current contractor information has been disclosed in the available documentation. The contract structure references renewal terms consistent with existing agreements, suggesting potential continuity with established service arrangements, though specific budget allocations or award values for the cable and dish TV services component have not been disclosed in the posted materials. All subcontractors engaged in contract performance must include the Standard Illinois Certifications in their agreements and maintain compliance throughout the contract term. Vendors should note that for contracts extending beyond one year, annual recertification by January 1 of each fiscal year is required to confirm ongoing compliance with all certification requirements.
