JPMC Emergency - Desktop Master Contract

The State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), in agreement with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is seeking to purchase desktop computers, monitors, and associated accessories and support services through an emergency JPMC (Joint Purchase Master Contract) contract. This procurement is being conducted due to the need to replace approximately 8,500 aging devices that are running on outdated and unsupported operating systems, which are highly vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. The emergency contract period is estimated to be from April 1, 2022 to June 29, 2022, with a total estimated expenditure of $20,000,000. The contract will be used by all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies, with a specific focus on the jurisdiction of St. Clair County.

The emergency purchase was made with as much competition as practicable, and best efforts were made to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, the emergency contract will allow the State to continue ordering devices from the previous master contract holder, CDW-G, while a new Invitation for Bid (IFB) is prepared. Funding for this emergency purchase will come from State appropriated funds, and the total award value or budget range is estimated to be $20,000,000.
