EMERGENCY - Electronic and GPS Monitoring Services

This procurement notice represents an emergency purchase for electronic and GPS monitoring services completed by the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology in collaboration with AT&T Enterprises, LLC. The emergency contract, which ran from December 9, 2022, through December 11, 2025, has been concluded, and this notice serves as formal documentation of the completed emergency procurement rather than a solicitation for new bids. The primary objective of this emergency purchase was to secure critical electronic and GPS monitoring capabilities to support state operations during the specified contract period. The contract was authorized by Brandon Ragle, Acting Secretary and State Chief Information Officer, with final documentation executed on January 5, 2026. The notice indicates that the emergency procurement process was used to expedite the acquisition of these essential services, bypassing standard competitive bidding procedures due to the urgent operational needs of the state. No specific evaluation criteria, deliverable specifications, or submission deadlines for vendor responses are applicable, as this documentation reflects a completed emergency contract rather than an active solicitation.

AT&T Enterprises, LLC, located at 200 South Akard, Room 2240.02 in Dallas, Texas 75202, served as the sole vendor for this emergency procurement, and no competing bidders or alternative contractors were involved in this expedited acquisition process. The completed emergency contract resulted in a final total cost of $30,096,630.34 for the electronic and GPS monitoring services delivered over the approximately three-year contract term. This notice does not indicate whether set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or specific organizational qualifications were applied to the original emergency procurement, as the contract has already been fully executed and concluded. The substantial contract value reflects the critical nature of the electronic and GPS monitoring infrastructure required by the State of Illinois during the contract performance period. As this represents a completed emergency purchase rather than an active solicitation, there are no current opportunities for vendors to submit proposals or compete for award. Organizations seeking future state contracting opportunities should monitor the Illinois Chief Procurement Office for upcoming solicitations related to electronic and monitoring services or technology infrastructure needs.
