FY27-1 NARUC Membership yearly dues

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office is procuring NARUC membership yearly dues under a sole-source small purchase, with proposals due June 12, 2026. NARUC is a non-profit organization representing State Public Service Commissions that regulate electric, gas, telecommunications, and water utilities, and the procurement carries sole-source conditions that restrict competitive bidding.

The contract is governed by the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for General Services contracts under $50,000. Vendors must maintain General Commercial Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, along with Auto Liability and Workers Compensation coverage. The State retains sole and exclusive ownership of all work product and intellectual property. Prevailing wage compliance applies where applicable, and prior written approval is required for any subcontractors. Vendors must retain complete books and records for three years (or five years if federal funds are used).

Payment is subject to the State Prompt Payment Act. A $15 administrative fee applies to contracts of $1,000 or more under specified sections of the Illinois Procurement Code. Invoices for services through June 30 must be submitted by July 31 of the same year. The State may terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice and without penalty. All contract terms are subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and expenses incurred prior to contract execution will not be reimbursed.
