Cycle Rider Safety Training Program- SP with sole source conditions

The State of Illinois is soliciting a small purchase with sole source conditions for a Cycle Rider Education Manager System under the Cycle Rider Safety Training Program, with proposals due September 1, 2026. The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition, which restricts competition to a single vendor meeting the state's justification for lack of adequate alternatives.

Vendors must comply with 30 ILCS 500/50–90 certification requirements outlined in the Standard Illinois Certifications form (Version 26.2). The certifications span 34 specific compliance categories, including vendor legal status, tax compliance, criminal history and felony convictions under specified statutes, conflict-of-interest prohibitions, drug-free workplace standards, equal employment opportunity compliance, forced labor and child labor prohibitions, domestic product procurement preferences, employment vacancy posting on IllinoisJobLink.com or successor systems, and federal cybersecurity directives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Vendors must certify compliance at contract signing and, for multi-year contracts, recertify by January 1 of each subsequent fiscal year or provide documented explanations of material changes. Falsification or failure to maintain compliance throughout the contract term—including any renewals—exposes vendors to contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act. All subcontractors must be included in and bound by the same certifications.

The procurement is governed by Standard Terms and Conditions v23.2–53, which establish performance standards, insurance requirements, record-keeping obligations, audit rights, payment terms, liability limitations, indemnification, dispute resolution, confidentiality, and intellectual property provisions applicable to the contract term and renewals.

No estimated contract value, contract term, or place of performance is specified in the source documents.
