FY25 Booth Build - WXH Miami

The State of Illinois is seeking a sole source procurement for a FY25 Booth Build for the World Health Expo (WXH) in Miami, with a unique small purchase designation. The contract opportunity, posted on April 11, 2025, appears to involve comprehensive exhibit construction and design services specifically for the World Health Expo. The primary objective is to develop a professional booth installation that meets the exposition's specifications and requirements. The procurement is specifically targeted at creating a turnkey booth solution for the Illinois delegation's presence at the Miami-based event. The due date for this opportunity is simultaneously set for April 11, 2025, suggesting a compressed timeline for vendor response and potential immediate implementation. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, though the sole source designation implies a potentially pre-selected or uniquely qualified vendor.

While specific set-aside designations are not clearly articulated in the provided documentation, the standard terms and conditions document suggests potential considerations for minority contractors, including a $15 fee for those awarded contracts over $1,000. The standard terms also outline comprehensive insurance requirements, mandating $1,000,000 in general commercial liability coverage for potential vendors. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details are provided within the documentation. The contract appears to be a targeted, specific procurement without broad competitive bidding. Financial parameters are not explicitly stated, though the small purchase designation suggests a potentially modest budget scope. The procurement is governed by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which provides a robust framework for vendor engagement, performance expectations, and administrative protocols.
