DHS spss FY22 aphsa dues

This state and local contract opportunity is a small purchase with sole source conditions for the annual membership dues to the American Public Human Service Association (APHSA) on behalf of the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS). The contract is a one-year agreement to cover the FY2022 membership fees. The state is seeking to directly procure this service without a competitive bidding process due to the sole source nature of the APHSA membership. The contract requires the vendor to provide documentation of the membership fees and comply with the state's standard terms and conditions, including record-keeping, confidentiality, and liability requirements. The contract opportunity was posted on October 26, 2021 with a due date of October 29, 2021, indicating an expedited procurement timeline.

As this is a sole source contract, there are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that would need to be integrated. The contract value is likely based on the annual membership dues, but no specific budget range or award value has been provided in the documentation. The state's Forms B certification and disclosure requirements must be completed by the vendor as part of the response.
