As a public agency, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer welcomes all vendors to participate in the open and competitive process. The buying plan contains hundreds of great opportunities for vendors to do business with Cook County. The buying plan includes information on numerous County projects and needs. You will find useful information on the department requesting proposals, project descriptions, value of contract, advertising date, and various Minority, Women and Veteran Business Enterprise subcontracting opportunities. OCPO encourages all potential vendors to use the information provided in the plan to assist them in future procurement efforts. Please contact Procurement staff or visit our website at https://www.cookcountyil.gov/procurement with any questions regarding procurement and contracting.

Under Cook County Ethics Code Section 2-585, campaign contributions to County elected officials are limited to $1,500 per calendar year if the contributor is currently doing or has done business with the County. The term "doing business" or "done business" is defined at "any one or any combination of sales, purchases, leases, or contracts to, from, or with the County or any County agency in excess of $10,000.00 in the previous four years."

This dataset lists all vendors currently affected by these campaign contributions limited due to their current or past work with the County. Contribution limits apply to the listed vendor, its subsidiaries, parent company, or otherwise affiliated companies. Please note that this dataset may include separate entries for different divisions of the same company, its subsidiaries, parent company, or otherwise affiliated companies. While listed separately, they are considered a single entity/vendor subject to the County's contribution limit.
