DES-SPSSC-UI Trust Fund FY27

The Illinois Department of Employee Services is seeking a sole-source vendor for FX NXT UI Trust Fund Commission maintenance under a small-purchase procurement, with proposals due June 29, 2026. The sole-source structure eliminates competitive bidding and restricts opportunity to the specified vendor or a narrow justification.

No estimated contract value, contract term, scope of maintenance services, required qualifications, or performance specifications are detailed in the source material. The procurement references Standard Terms and Conditions Version 23.2, which establishes that selected vendors must maintain general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 and annual aggregate coverage of at least $2,000,000, retain audit records for three years (or five years if federal funds are involved), and comply with prevailing wage laws and all applicable federal, state, and local requirements. The State retains ownership of all work products, reserves the right to terminate for convenience with thirty days' notice, and requires prior written approval for any subcontractors. Payment invoices are due by July 31 for work completed through June 30. All disputes are resolved exclusively through the Illinois Court of Claims, and the State does not waive sovereign immunity.
