This procurement is exempt from standard procurement requirements under the Governor's Disaster Proclamation for the COVID-19 pandemic. Agencies in Illinois may determine that purchases are necessary for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) to respond to the disaster and are therefore exempt from standard procurement requirements. Agencies using this exemption may manage the purchases through either requisitions or purchase orders in the state's BidBuy system. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned, and the notice does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or contract values.
