Illinois Commerce Commission - Procurement
The ICC uses BidBuy to advertise solicitation opportunities, evaluate bids and publish contract awards. BidBuy is the State’s primary solution for sourcing and placing orders from vendors in a number of areas — including Equipment/Commodities, IT/Telecom, Facilities and General Services.
Vendors can register on BidBuy to do business with the state, to review requests for information or proposals and receive updates on procurement rules and requirements.
The ICC strives to do business with diverse enterprises through the State’s Sell 2 Illinois program. Sell 2 Illinois has certification process information and forms for businesses owned by:
- Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities(Business Enterprise Program)

State agencies and universities are encouraged to spend at least 20% of their procurement budgets with certified BEP companies, and many state solicitations require participation of certified BEP firms.
- Veterans(Veterans' Small Business Program)
Through the Veterans' Small Business Program, state agencies and universities are encouraged to spend at least 3% of their procurement budgets with certified veteran-owned businesses. Please look for upcoming notifications regarding the implementation of this program.
