HDS Section 8/236 Software 26-27 Sole Source Small Purchase

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office is soliciting a sole source small purchase for HDS Section 8/236 Software for fiscal year 2026–2027, with proposals due September 18, 2026. This is a sole source procurement, which constrains competition to a single identified vendor.

Housing and Development Services Inc., led by CEO Cristina M. Gilson, has executed the required Standard Illinois Certifications Form as of September 8, 2026, confirming compliance with Article 50 of the Illinois Procurement Code and 34 statutory obligations spanning educational loan default status, pension incentive eligibility, legal entity registration, collective bargaining agreements, criminal history disclosures, environmental violations, anti-competitive practices, steel product sourcing, drug-free workplace standards, equal employment opportunity, political contribution restrictions, cybersecurity compliance, and labor exploitation prohibitions. Vendors must maintain ongoing compliance throughout the contract term and any renewal periods, with annual recertification required by January 1 of each fiscal year. False certifications carry penalties including contract voidance, suspension, debarment, civil fines, or criminal sanctions under the Illinois False Claims Act.

The procurement applies standard Illinois terms and conditions (Version 23.2). The source materials do not identify a specific contract value, contract term length, or detailed scope of software deliverables beyond reference to Section 8 and Section 236 housing subsidy program administration. Contact information for Housing and Development Services Inc. is available through Cristina M. Gilson at Cristina@hdsoftware.com or 954-217-9597.
