IOC - IT - AWS Consumption

The State of Illinois is announcing piggyback access to a cooperative contract for AWS consumption (digital computing and storage services) as a small-purchase indefinite quantity contract (IOC), effective September 10, 2026. This is not a new solicitation but an open vehicle for state and local entities to acquire cloud infrastructure through pre-negotiated rates without individual competitive processes.

Pricing and terms are governed by the existing cooperative contract framework and standard terms and conditions attached (dated September 9, 2026). Contractors must maintain applicable service levels for AWS consumption and comply with Illinois state regulations and federal requirements. Standard contractual obligations apply: payment terms, performance requirements, insurance, confidentiality, intellectual property rights, indemnification, and termination provisions are outlined in the terms-and-conditions document.

The vehicle is designed for streamlined acquisition of cloud computing resources by state agencies, local governments, school districts, and other public bodies in Illinois. Participation leverages pre-established cooperative purchasing arrangements, eliminating the need for individual RFPs or competitive solicitations by each using entity. Place of performance and specific service-level obligations will vary by individual task orders issued under the contract.
