DES - SPSSC - IHS Global Databases Subscriptions FY25

The State of Illinois Department of Enterprise Services is seeking to procure subscriptions to the IHS Global Databases for the fiscal year 2025 through a Small Purchase with Sole Source Conditions procurement. The state is seeking to acquire access to these proprietary databases, which provide comprehensive data and analytical tools on a range of topics including economics, energy, automotive, and more. The contract will require the successful vendor to deliver and maintain access to the databases for all applicable state agencies over the course of the fiscal year. Vendors must have the capability to integrate the databases with existing state infrastructure and provide necessary training and support to end-users. The procurement has a posted due date of May 16, 2024, with no opportunity for questions or a bidders' conference.

This opportunity is designated as a sole source procurement, so only the incumbent vendor, IHS Global, is eligible to submit a proposal. There are no set-aside requirements or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided an estimated award value or budget range, but the contract will be funded through appropriated state funds for the 2025 fiscal year, with continued funding contingent on availability of those appropriations.
