DES-SPSSC WID Annual License FY25

This is a small purchase with sole source conditions procurement opportunity posted by the state of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Employment Security (DES) is seeking to renew its annual license for the Workforce Information Database (WID) software for fiscal year 2025. The WID software is a critical component of the state's workforce information system, providing data and analysis tools to support labor market decisions. The license covers access and usage rights for the WID system, along with any necessary software updates and technical support. Qualified vendors must demonstrate experience providing enterprise-level workforce information systems and licenses, as well as the ability to seamlessly integrate the WID software with Illinois' existing workforce technology infrastructure. Proposals are due by May 13, 2024, and the state anticipates making a contract award decision shortly thereafter.

This opportunity is limited to sole source conditions, meaning only pre-qualified vendors that currently hold the WID license will be considered. There are no set-aside requirements or restrictions on business size or type. The current WID license holder is unknown, as the state has not disclosed any incumbent vendor information. The total contract value has also not been disclosed, but it is expected to be within the state's typical budget range for workforce information technology systems and services.
