Small purchase with sole source conditions - Autocad subscription renewal

The State of Illinois has posted a small purchase opportunity with sole source conditions for the 3-year procurement of AutoCAD software for engineering and reclamation design. This contract will provide a renewal of the state's existing AutoCAD subscription. The software is required to support critical engineering and design work across various state agencies. Qualified vendors must be able to deliver the full AutoCAD software suite and ensure seamless integration with the state's current technology infrastructure. Responses are due by January 16, 2023.

There are no designated set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The state has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors that may have existing AutoCAD licensing. Given the sole source nature of the procurement, the contract award value is not expected to have a wide budget range, but will likely be commensurate with the state's current AutoCAD subscription costs. Vendors must agree to the state's standard terms and conditions, which cover payment, confidentiality, auditing, and other key legal and administrative requirements.
