About this opportunity
The Illinois Secretary of State is entering into a sole-source contract with IBM for mission-critical hardware and z16 mainframe maintenance and support, with a contract value of $748,266.48 and a term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The deadline for comments on the sole-source intent is July 3, 2026.
This procurement is designated sole source based on the proprietary nature of the z16 mainframe systems and related mission-critical hardware currently deployed by the Secretary of State, for which IBM is the sole manufacturer and authorized service provider. The contract represents a continuation of existing maintenance support essential to the state's critical information technology infrastructure operations. The Secretary of State has filed both a Sole Source Justification Form and a Sole Source Hearing Details Form documenting the rationale for bypassing competitive procurement procedures.
