Comcast Enterprise Services Small Purchase Sole Source

The State of Illinois is pursuing a Comcast Enterprise Services Small Purchase Sole Source contract for enterprise services, with installation fees included. This sole source procurement opportunity was posted on June 24, 2025, with responses due by June 27, 2025. The contract appears to be focused on procuring specific enterprise services from Comcast, potentially involving telecommunications or technology infrastructure solutions. Potential vendors must carefully review and complete the Standard Illinois Certifications form, which encompasses 33 detailed certification requirements covering areas such as business eligibility, criminal history, tax compliance, workplace standards, and technological accessibility. Vendors must attest to compliance with various legal and ethical standards, including prohibitions on bribery, felony convictions, tax delinquency, and discriminatory practices, while also demonstrating commitment to equal employment opportunity and adherence to state and federal regulations.

The procurement opportunity includes specific requirements for vendor qualifications, with potential restrictions or set-aside designations implied by the comprehensive certification process. Vendors must be prepared to provide documentation verifying their taxpayer identification, legal status, and business structure, as outlined in the Taxpayer ID Number form. The Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates potential financial parameters, including requirements for $1,000,000 in general commercial liability coverage and compliance with prevailing wage standards. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a small purchase approach with potential for ongoing enterprise services. Vendors should be aware of potential sanctions for false certifications, which could include contract voiding, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties. The state reserves the right to terminate contracts with 30 days' notice and to assess vendor performance for potential future contract eligibility.
