The initial Master Agreement term is four years, with options for up to three additional one-year extensions, contingent on supplier compliance with mandatory minimum requirements and annual certifications.

Illinois-specific participating agreements are subject to the State of Illinois Specific Participating Agreement Terms and Conditions, which impose a ten-year ceiling on the total term (initial plus all extensions and amendments). Participating agreements are contingent upon appropriated state funds and remain subject to termination or suspension without penalty if the Illinois General Assembly fails to appropriate sufficient funds or if the Governor reduces agency funding.

All participating agreements must comply with the Illinois Procurement Code and Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The State of Illinois Business Enterprise Program goals apply where applicable. Vendors must register in both the Illinois Procurement Gateway and BidBuy systems before contract execution. Payment follows the State Prompt Payment Act. Vendor claims are filed exclusively with the Illinois Court of Claims; the State of Illinois does not waive sovereign immunity or consent to binding arbitration.
