PO26-011 west law books, TP

The state of Illinois, specifically through the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) in Cook County, is executing a small purchase procurement for law books via a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with West Publishing. The procurement involves acquiring 77 copies of West's Illinois Family Laws and Court Rules, 2025 edition, to be distributed across six different DCFS office locations with varying quantities ranging from 9 to 20 books per location. The contract is structured as a sole source acquisition, with a defined term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Deliverables include the physical law books, which must be delivered to specified DCFS offices. The procurement method is a small purchase under $50,000, funded through the state's fiscal year 2026 budget. The key objective is to provide essential legal reference materials for DCFS staff, with a total contract value of $30,576.70, which translates to $397.10 per book. Invoices must be submitted by July 31 following the fiscal year, and payment will be processed upon receipt of books and invoice.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be a direct procurement with West Publishing as the sole source vendor. While the Standard Terms and Conditions document suggests standard non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity requirements, no specific provisions for disadvantaged enterprises are highlighted. The procurement does not indicate integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The total contract value is $30,576.70, which represents a relatively modest budget for a state-level procurement. Payment and performance are governed by standard state contract terms, including provisions for confidentiality, legal compliance, and potential contract termination if state funding becomes unavailable. The contract includes standard background check requirements and allows the state to cancel the agreement under specific circumstances.
