26-420DCEO-STRTC-B-50492 | Exempt Notice DCEO Exempt Procurement Report FY26 Jul-Dec

This solicitation, identified by number 26-420DCEO-STRTC-B-50492 and issued by the Illinois Strategic Sourcing & Procurement office, pertains to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's (DCEO) exempt procurement reporting for fiscal year 2026 covering the period from July to December. The contract involves exempt personal services agreements and other procurements authorized under specific provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500/1-10(b)), which allow for exceptions from competitive bidding and standard procurement processes. These exemptions include hiring individuals as employees rather than independent contractors, acquisition of real estate, public-private agreements, and specialized arrangements such as those related to health benefit exchanges or assistive technology accommodations. The contract's primary place of performance is Springfield, Illinois, with some activities linked to venues such as the Illinois and DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. The documentation does not specify traditional federal contract features such as FAR clauses, detailed deliverables or performance metrics, or contract administration elements like payment offices or invoicing methods. The contractual period of performance generally spans one year or less for various contractors, with start and end dates largely concentrated between July 2025 and June 2026. No formal evaluation criteria, proposal submission requirements, or pricing structures are provided, nor are there indications of socioeconomic or size status certifications for contractors. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities and quality standards are not explicitly detailed, though acceptance likely occurs at the place of performance in Springfield. Overall, this contract reflects administrative and operational supportive services governed by Illinois state procurement exemptions, with a focus on exempt contract reporting rather than typical competitive acquisition or performance-driven agreements.
