The University awarded a contract for store scanner data.
Store scanner data at the UPC level to be used in grant-funded research.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for performing sponsored research and other sponsored activities under grants and contracts funded by the sponsor or by sources other than State appropriations. (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b)(8)) Purchasing the store scanner data based on our custom order specifications allowed the University to propose a set of research aims and methodology not previously undertaken that will provide innovative and new evidence. The unique research design has led to the University securing a $595,470 grant.
