About this opportunity
The Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services, acting through the Illinois Chief Procurement Office, has awarded an emergency purchase without competition to incumbent Porter Lee Corporation for ongoing Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) maintenance and technical support, with a listed due date of November 16, 2026. The agency determined that competitive procurement was not practicable, and its Business Enterprise Program directory search found no certified vendors able to provide the required LIMS support within the necessary timeframe.
The scope covers LIMS system functionality, troubleshooting, software updates, technical support, and required maintenance, including BEAST system support for 600 users and CrimePad licensing and technical support for 500 users. The vendor was selected because the LIMS is already implemented and operational under its current configuration, and switching vendors would require time-intensive onboarding and system validation.
The award totals $155,000 in actual costs, funded from state appropriations. The prior contract was set to expire October 31, 2026, and a new procurement agreement was not expected to be finalized before that date due to ongoing negotiations. The award was made October 27, 2026, and the emergency authorization was signed October 29, 2026, by Faith Coleman, Acting Agency Procurement Officer. The vendor's address is 1901 Wright Boulevard, Schaumburg, Illinois 60193.
