LinkedIn Annual Subscription

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is soliciting for a one-year LinkedIn subscription service with a proposal due date of June 29, 2026 — a five-day window from posting.

The scope includes recruitment and job posting capabilities on LinkedIn's platform. Deliverables comprise up to 1,000 impressions in Recruitment Ads, five Job Slots at Tier 1 (ranging from 1–10 slots), LinkedIn Next Gen Career Pages with enterprise-level features providing 300,000 annual impressions and basic analytics, five Job Dashboard Manager seats for LinkedIn Recruiter functionality, and work-with-us banner ads displayed on company employee profile pages for organizations with fewer than 1,000 employee profiles. The subscription permits on-demand changes, updates, and removal of job postings throughout the twelve-month term.

All vendors responding to Illinois state contracts must comply with the State of Illinois Standard Certifications document, which requires certification of compliance with 34 statutory and regulatory requirements before contract execution. Certifications cover vendor financial stability, conflict-of-interest prohibitions, prevailing wage and collective bargaining obligations, environmental compliance, workplace safety, equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination laws, Illinois Use Tax, drug-free workplace, and cybersecurity requirements. For contracts exceeding one year in duration, vendors must recertify by January 1 of each subsequent fiscal year. False certifications expose vendors to contract voidance, suspension, debarment, civil fines, and criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act.

The State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions apply. These require general commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence with $2 million annual aggregate, worker's compensation insurance, and auto liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence. The State retains exclusive ownership of all work products and intellectual property. Contracts are contingent upon appropriation availability and are subject to termination for convenience with thirty days' notice.

No contract value, incumbent, or evaluation criteria are specified in the source materials.
