Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (30 ILCS 525/4.05)
    Sec. 4.05. Other methods of joint purchases.
    (a) It may be determined that it is impractical to obtain competition because (i) there is only one economically-feasible source for the item, (ii) there is a threat to public health or public safety or immediate expenditure is necessary either to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial State revenues or to ensure the integrity of State records, or (iii) it is in the best interest of the State to award a contract to a qualified not-for-profit agency for persons with significant disabilities under Section 45-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code.
    (b) When the State of Illinois is a party to the joint purchase agreement, the applicable chief procurement officer shall make a determination regarding (i) whether there is only one economically feasible source for the item, (ii) whether there exists a threat to public health or public safety or immediate expenditure is necessary to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services, or (iii) whether the contract is eligible to be awarded to a not-for-profit agency for persons with significant disabilities under Section 45-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code.
    (c) When there is only one economically feasible source for the item, the chief procurement officer may authorize a sole economically-feasible source contract. When there exists a threat to public health or public safety or when immediate expenditure is necessary to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services, the chief procurement officer may authorize an emergency procurement without competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals or prior notice. When an agency requests to award a contract to a not-for-profit agency for persons with significant disabilities under Section 45-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code, the chief procurement officer may authorize the award.
    (d) All joint purchases made pursuant to this Section shall follow the same procedures for sole source contracts in the Illinois Procurement Code when the chief procurement officer determines there is only one economically-feasible source for the item. All joint purchases made pursuant to this Section shall follow the same procedures for emergency purchases in the Illinois Procurement Code when the chief procurement officer determines immediate expenditure is necessary to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial State revenues, or to ensure the integrity of State records. All joint purchases made under this Section shall follow the same procedures for not-for-profit agencies for persons with significant disabilities under Section 45-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code when the chief procurement officer determines that it is in the best interest of the State.
    (e) Each chief procurement officer shall submit to the General Assembly by November 1 of each year a report of procurements made under this Section.
