SBE-AU122-MAEC-SPSS

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office is soliciting a small purchase under sole source conditions for an unspecified good or service, with proposals due July 27, 2026 — a five-day window from posting. The procurement is designated SBE-AU122-MAEC-SPSS, indicating a Small Business Enterprise set-aside, though the specific scope, estimated value, and awardee qualifications are not detailed in the available materials.

The standard terms and conditions document establishes uniform contractual requirements binding the State and vendor across all performance activities. Vendors must maintain audit records for three years (or five years if federal funds are used), obtain required licenses and permits, and carry general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence. The State retains sole and exclusive ownership of all work product as work-for-hire, and vendors must indemnify the State against claims arising from breach, negligent performance, employee actions, or intellectual property infringement.

Payment terms comply with the State Prompt Payment Act. Prevailing wage requirements apply to specified service categories; vendors are responsible for contacting the Illinois Department of Labor to identify applicable rates. Invoices for supplies and services must be submitted by July 31 following the fiscal year in which work was performed. Vendors may not bill for taxes without proof of State tax liability.

The State may terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice without penalty, or immediately for cause if performance jeopardy exists or material breaches occur. Contract continuation is contingent upon appropriation availability; the State retains the right to suspend or terminate if funding is insufficient or reduced by legislative or gubernatorial action.
