Small Purchase with Sole Source Conditions-IDPH OHR/OPR TRAIN FY26

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is pursuing a small purchase with sole source conditions for a Learning Management System (LMS) specifically designed for Training and Workforce Development within the public health sector. This procurement focuses on a TRAIN platform that enables networking and resource sharing across affiliate member states, including capabilities with the CDC. The LMS will serve local health departments, IDPH, and hospitals to enhance public health learning opportunities. The contract opportunity is posted on September 24, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 30, 2025. The key deliverable appears to be access to a comprehensive training platform that facilitates workforce development and knowledge sharing among public health professionals. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the sole source designation suggests a targeted procurement with predetermined vendor selection.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of vendor type, though standard Illinois state procurement guidelines will apply, as outlined in the attached Standard Terms and Conditions document. The document indicates potential requirements around minority contractor initiatives, tax compliance, and vendor qualifications. While no specific budget range is provided, the small purchase designation suggests a relatively modest contract value. The standard terms indicate potential financial considerations, including a $15 fee for contracts exceeding $1,000 and specific invoicing protocols. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with insurance requirements, including general commercial liability, auto liability, and worker's compensation. The contract framework allows for potential termination and includes provisions for vendor performance evaluation, with the possibility of suspension from future business opportunities based on contract execution performance.
