DHS SP SS NASMHPD FY26 annual dues

The State of Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) is pursuing a small purchase with sole source conditions for annual dues to the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) for fiscal year 2026. This procurement is specifically identified as contract opportunity 685f18a58b94a14941086c84, which was posted on June 24, 2025, with a firm submission deadline of June 30, 2025. The procurement appears to be a direct renewal of organizational membership dues, with no competitive bidding process indicated. The standard terms and conditions document attached suggests this is a straightforward administrative procurement that requires adherence to state procurement guidelines, including standard insurance and contractual compliance requirements. The primary deliverable is the annual membership dues payment to NASMHPD, which likely provides the state agency with access to professional resources, networking opportunities, and policy information related to mental health program administration.

Based on the documentation, this appears to be a sole source procurement with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor qualifications. The procurement is limited to the specific membership dues for NASMHPD, which implies there are no alternative vendors or competitive bidding options. While the exact award value is not explicitly stated, such organizational membership dues are typically in the range of several thousand dollars annually. The standard terms and conditions document indicates that vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in general commercial liability insurance and $1,000,000 in auto liability coverage. The procurement is exclusively for the Illinois Department of Human Services and does not appear to involve multiple jurisdictions or complex technical integrations. The sole source nature of the contract suggests this is a routine administrative renewal of an existing organizational membership.
