State Of Illinois Toll Highway Authority

State Of Illinois Toll Highway Authority, a child entity of the State of Illinois operating as a transit authority headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, provides electronic toll collection services exclusively to federal agencies as a prime contractor, delivering I-PASS transponders, toll account management, and toll usage fees for federal vehicle operations on Illinois toll infrastructure. The Authority competes full-and-open across all its federal work; no set-aside categories apply to its awards.

The Authority's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: it is the statutory exclusive provider of the I-PASS electronic toll collection system within Illinois and accordingly serves federal agencies that operate vehicles on state toll roads. Recent named work includes a $497 thousand single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (awarded January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2030) that anchors the Authority's federal pipeline, with two delivery orders issued to date for I-PASS transponders and Jesse Brown VA Medical Center toll services ($90 thousand and $94.5 thousand respectively). The Authority also holds a $160 thousand time-and-materials purchase order from EPA Region 5 for Illinois toll road I-PASS transponders (awarded April 1, 2023, completing March 31, 2028), a $147.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Navy Recruiting Command for EZ Pass services at Navy Talent Acquisition Group Great Lakes (awarded April 1, 2026, sole-source under FAR Parts 12 and 13, completing September 30, 2031), and recurring annual purchase orders from the Drug Enforcement Administration for tollway usage and transponder fees.

Customer concentration runs heavy toward defense and veterans health. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 50% of all awards: the Department of the Army (16 awards, $407 thousand combined potential value), Navy Recruiting Command (13 awards, $662 thousand), Drug Enforcement Administration (12 awards, $157 thousand), Department of Education Office of the Inspector General (11 awards, $16 thousand), and EPA Region 5 (7 awards, $388 thousand). However, the top-five ranking by potential value diverges significantly—VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (6 awards, $991 thousand combined potential value) displaces Education from the top tier, reflecting the authority-anchoring single-award IDIQ. Navy Recruiting Command and the Army hold steady in positions two and three; combined, these three agencies account for 87% of the Authority's total potential value across 117 awards.

The Authority places two parent IDIQs: the VA single-award contract (DABJ2703A0011) with 6 task orders and an indefinite delivery contract numbered 36C25225D0016 (2 task orders, $185 thousand combined potential value). Work is coded primarily under NAICS 488490 (Other Support Activities for Road Transportation, 48 awards) and 488999 (All Other Support Activities for Transportation, 21 awards), with PSC coding concentrated in Transportation/Travel/Relocation categories. Awards per year have been sparse and volatile—two in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and four in 2026—reflecting the episodic nature of toll-service renewals rather than sustained growth. Five awards valued at $238 thousand total face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. The Authority has no subcontractor footprint; all 117 awards are prime contracts. Combined potential value across all awards sits at $3.1 million, with $2.5 million obligated (80% burn rate), indicating mature, funded work that is executing as awarded.
