SP EC Accounting Services

The state of Illinois, specifically the Department of Human Services (DHS), is seeking to secure emergency accounting services through this contracting opportunity. This is not a bid opportunity, but rather a request for vendors to provide the necessary accounting services to the state. The key objectives are to ensure accurate financial reporting and accounting for DHS during this emergency situation. Vendors responding must have expertise in state and local government accounting, be able to provide skilled accounting professionals on short notice, and have a demonstrated track record of supporting government clients. The deadline for responses is July 26, 2021, providing a very short turnaround time.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The state has not provided information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor details on the anticipated award value or budget range. Vendors will be required to complete the state's standard Forms B Certifications and Disclosures as part of their response, which includes providing information on their Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) registration, any lobbying activities, and current/pending state contracts. Additionally, vendors must agree to the state's Standard Terms and Conditions, which outline key contractual requirements related to payments, expenses, compliance, audits, and other standard provisions.
