Ill. Admin. Code tit. 44, § 2600.400 - Suppliers
a) SBEL may
contract with any qualified source of supply not limited to those found to be
qualified by CMS pursuant to 44 Ill. Adm. Code
1.2045.
b) Special Sources
1) Prior to any equipment procurement, SBEL
may consider property available from the State and Federal Surplus Warehouses,
which are under the jurisdiction of CMS. The State Property Control Act
[30 ILCS 605/7a
] requires that surplus furniture be considered before any purchase of new
furniture valued at $500 or more per piece. SBEL may use any prequalified
bidder list maintained by CMS and avail itself of the standards for
qualification found at 44 Ill. Adm. Code
1.2045
and
1.2046.
2) Various supplies and services are
available from qualified workshops for the disabled and procurement from these
workshops is encouraged. Notice and competition is not required pursuant to
Section 45-35 of the Code.
3)
Various supplies and services are available from State agencies and other
governmental units. These may be procured without notice and
competition.
c)
Prequalification
1) The CPO shall determine
any categories of services for which he or she deems prequalification to be in
the best interests of the agency and shall allow for a prequalification period
once per year. Notice of the prequalification period shall be announced in the
Procurement Bulletin and shall alert vendors that they must take part in the
prequalification period in order to be eligible for future
procurements.
2) The
prequalification may be used for a specific procurement or type of procurement,
and it may include any factors the CPO deems to aid in the determination of
whether a vendor is likely to be "responsible" or otherwise qualified to
undertake the procurement.
3)
Except in the case of professional and artistic services, distribution of and
responses to the solicitation may be limited to prequalified vendors and award
of a contract may be denied because a vendor was not prequalified. If
eligibility for the procurement will be limited to prequalified vendors, the
Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals or other procurement request shall
state that fact.
4) Any
prequalification of vendors of professional and artistic services shall
include, at a minimum, a specified level of education, experience, and
technical ability, and may require certification or licensure or membership in
professional associations.
