"RENEWAL NOTICE" Technical Assistance Services

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, in collaboration with the Toll Highway Authority (THA), is issuing a renewal notice for Technical Assistance Services with the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (IHCC). This 12-month contract renewal spans from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2026, with a total renewal amount of $373,252.00. The procurement involves comprehensive technical assistance services, though specific detailed deliverables are not explicitly outlined in the available documentation. The renewal is being processed as a non-competitive extension of an existing contract, with the State Procurement Officer (SPO) signing the renewal determination on October 29, 2025. The due date for this renewal notice is November 17, 2025, indicating a structured timeline for contract continuation and administrative processing.

The contract includes specific Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veterans Business Program (VBP) requirements, mandating 30% BEP and 3% VBP utilization. Four subcontractors are identified to meet these diversity and inclusion goals: Indep Chicago LLC (23% BEP), Sandi Llano & Associates Inc (21.5% BEP), Semper Fi Yard Services Inc (10% VET), and VE Solutions, LLC (15%). These subcontractor selections demonstrate a commitment to supporting minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses within the contract's execution. The total contract value of $373,252.00 represents the financial scope for the 12-month renewal period, with clear expectations for vendor participation and diversity compliance. The procurement appears to prioritize not just service delivery, but also economic opportunities for historically underrepresented business entities in government contracting.
