SP w/ SS FY27 ASC Vendor for Serve IL

The State of Illinois is soliciting proposals for adaptive skills coaching (ASC) training and technical support services under a small purchase sole source contract for the Serve IL program, with proposals due June 22, 2026.

This is a sole source procurement, meaning only one vendor will be selected without competitive bidding. The scope covers ASC training delivery and ongoing technical assistance supporting the Serve IL initiative. The awardee must comply with the FY27 ASC Standard Illinois Certifications, a mandatory 34-category compliance framework covering legal, ethical, financial, and operational standards. Key certification requirements include drug-free workplace compliance for vendors with 25 or more employees on contracts exceeding $5,000; prohibition of felony convictions or specified financial crimes; compliance with environmental, labor, and human rights laws; restrictions on lobbying and political contributions; verification of domestic product sourcing where applicable; Illinois Use Tax compliance; non-delinquent status with the State; and certification that foreign-made equipment has not been produced through forced labor or child labor. Vendors must recertify by January 1 of each fiscal year for contracts exceeding one year in duration and report any changes in certification status or face potential contract voidance. Non-compliance subjects vendors to contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties, including liability under the Illinois False Claims Act.

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services is the contracting body. The contract term covers FY27. No estimated contract value or incumbent is identified in the posting.
