Small Purchase with Sole Source Conditions- EDI Hosting and Maintenance FY 22

The State of Illinois is issuing a Small Purchase with Sole Source Conditions procurement for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) hosting and maintenance services for fiscal year 2022. The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission (IWCC) requires these services to facilitate the submission of workers' compensation injury reports and other information from entities required by law. The contract will cover the annual hosting and maintenance of the EDI reporting system used for these data exchanges. Interested vendors must comply with the State's standard terms and conditions, as well as submit the required Forms A and Forms B certifications and disclosures as part of their response. The solicitation has a short turnaround, with responses due by June 8, 2021.

This procurement is designated as a small purchase with sole source conditions, indicating limited competition. There is no information provided on any set-aside requirements or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Similarly, the documents do not identify any incumbent vendors or specify a contract value or budget range. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests the IWCC has a unique relationship or existing infrastructure with a particular service provider that requires continuation of those services.
