This procurement opportunity is exclusively set-aside for Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) vendors registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) at the time of bid submission, which significantly restricts competition to qualified small business entities and ensures compliance with Illinois small business contracting requirements. Subcontracting is explicitly not permitted under this contract, requiring the selected vendor to perform all work directly with its own employees and resources. Vendors must complete and submit all required documentation including a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) form, Standard Illinois Certifications containing 34 distinct eligibility and conduct requirements, and evidence of compliance with state accessibility, cybersecurity, and prevailing wage standards where applicable. False certifications subject vendors to contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties under the Illinois False Claims Act. No incumbent vendor or budget range information is provided in the contract documents. The contract is contingent upon appropriation availability and may be terminated for convenience with thirty days' written notice, or for cause immediately upon notice if performance or safety issues arise, with payment terms following the State Prompt Payment Act.
