ISAC - Debt Collection Services

The State of Illinois is issuing a small purchase with emergency conditions for debt collection services through ISAC, with proposals due September 2, 2026.

This procurement carries mandatory Illinois state certifications as a prerequisite to bidding. Bidders must complete the Standard Illinois Certifications v.26.2 form, which requires attestation across business registration, tax compliance, workers' compensation insurance, prevailing wage adherence, debarment status, suspension eligibility, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and state labor standards. The certification document functions as a gating eligibility requirement; incomplete or inaccurate responses disqualify bids from award consideration.

The scope of debt collection services is not detailed in the posted materials. Standard Terms and Conditions v.23.2 establish the contracting framework: vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate, auto liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. The State retains sole ownership of all work products and deliverables. Vendors must comply with the State Prompt Payment Act for payment procedures and prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Records must be retained for three years (five years if federal funds are used). Termination for cause is permitted with written notice if performance is unsatisfactory or the vendor lacks financial resources; termination for convenience is permitted with thirty days' notice. All contracts are contingent upon appropriation of funds, and the State may suspend or terminate without penalty if appropriations are insufficient or reduced. Vendors are prohibited from employing State personnel under contract terms and must indemnify the State against claims arising from breach, negligence, or intellectual property infringement.

No contract value, incumbent contractor, evaluation criteria, or detailed service specifications are identified in the posted materials.
