Summary
The bill amends the Illinois Procurement Code so that, in competitive sealed bidding, a contract for supplies can be awarded based on the lowest price a vendor offers for a representative sample of goods. The sample must represent at least 75% of the contract’s estimated cost and the contract must include an option to add more items later. This change affects state purchasing agencies and vendors by adding a new evaluation method.
