First published Thursday, July 18, 2019
The University awarded a contract for Campus Identification Card & Point-of-Sale System.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
Northern Illinois University published RFP #KMC20719 to the Illinois Procurement Bulletin for Public Institution of Higher Education in the spring of 2019 to select and source a campus identification card and point-of-sale system with performance to begin July 1, 2019. The RFP specified that the winning vendor would need to maintain the existing system which was recognized as exclusionary in that only the incumbent vendor could have done so. Upon identifying the problematic specification, the RFP was canceled and resulted in no award. The specifications are being revised with the intent to post a new RFP in the very near future to address this ongoing need. For the period of time during which that solicitation is conducted, and should a transition period to a new solution be necessary, the university requires a campus identification card and point-of-sale system remain online.
