AI Contract Overview
The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), under solicitation number 26-416CMS-LEAS4-B-50196 (Agency Ref# L6951), is seeking approximately 47,430 square feet of general office space within Cook County, Illinois, specifically for use by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The requested space must be contiguous and located within designated boundary areas as detailed in Exhibit A of the solicitation. The lease term includes an initial five-year period with an optional five-year renewal, accommodating various DCFS business units such as Child Protection Services, Permanency, Adoptions, and other specialized units. The space must meet detailed tenant space configuration standards outlined in Exhibit B, including specific office types, electrical and data outlet requirements, and compliance with state-mandated building program standards. The solicitation emphasizes adherence to local building codes, accessibility standards, and telecommunications infrastructure requirements consistent with TIA-569 and Category 6 cabling standards. At least 19 paved, striped, and lighted parking spaces—four complying with ADA requirements—must be provided alongside janitorial and pest management services as specified. The procurement process requires respondents to submit detailed information regarding building ownership, lease terms, property specifications, services, and compliance certifications via the BidBuy electronic platform by December 23, 2025. Evaluation will be based on responsibility, responsiveness, and price, taking into account bidder qualifications, property control and location, subcontractor disclosures, and pricing fairness, with award made to the best overall value. Vendors must comply with Illinois state laws, including prevailing wage statutes, drug-free workplace requirements, and conflict of interest disclosures. Vendor registrations through the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) are mandatory, with required certifications on matters such as political contributions, business operations, and listing of current contracts. The contract incorporates a detailed Illinois CMS lease template outlining lease obligations, rights, rent terms, and dispute resolution provisions, but lacks federal FAR clauses, reflecting its state-level jurisdiction. Inspection and acceptance of the leased premises will be conducted at the location in Cook County based on strict compliance with state building and accessibility standards, with final acceptance contingent on the agency’s sole discretion prior to lease commencement. No packaging, marking, or federal acquisition logistics requirements apply.
