EMERGENCY PURCHASES

 

The Illinois Procurement Code requires agencies expending funds in an emergency to file a statement with the Auditor General within 10 days after the procurement, setting forth the amount expended, the name of the contractor, and the circumstances requiring the emergency purchase.  The Auditor General, in turn, is required to file a quarterly report with the Commission and the Governor setting forth a complete listing of all emergency purchases reported during that quarter.  The latest report is for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 and it contains eighty filings with this office.

 

 

 

                                                                                    Yours truly,
