Scribe How Software Licenses

The State of Illinois is soliciting a brand-name software license procurement for Scribe How covering 175 users, with proposals due July 16, 2026. This is a brand-name-only solicitation, which restricts competition to Scribe How licenses and equivalents the state deems acceptable.

Vendors must comply with the Standard Illinois Certifications document, which establishes 34 distinct certification categories covering vendor legal status, financial responsibility, criminal history restrictions, ethical conduct, labor compliance, environmental standards, workplace safety, non-discrimination, tax compliance, cybersecurity, and political contribution restrictions. Certifications address specific exclusions: vendors must not be in default on educational loans, have not received certain early retirement incentives, have not been convicted of bribery, felonies, or bid-rigging offenses, and must maintain drug-free workplace standards and non-use of forced labor. Compliance is a material requirement of the contract; failure to maintain truthful certification or comply with these requirements may result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties. Subcontractors are subject to the same obligations and must include these certifications in any subcontracts used in contract performance.

The Standard Terms and Conditions document establishes the contractual framework governing vendor responsibilities, state obligations, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, liability limitations, indemnification, dispute resolution, contract administration, invoicing and payment procedures, insurance requirements, compliance with applicable state and federal regulations, remedies for non-performance, termination provisions, data protection, and system security standards.
