Opportunity Overview
Closed for new submission. The Illinois State Police solicitation for cadet psychological evaluation services under IFB 27-493ISP-OPERA-B-53844 reached its listed bid opening on September 11, 2026 at 9:00 AM. The public BidBuy page still renders Bid Type OPEN and does not separately identify the time zone, but the listed opening has elapsed, so Atlas does not treat the portal label as a live submission window. Preserve the existing unfinished quote and monitor only for a reopening amendment, cancellation, award notice, or rebid.
Scope and Volume
The procurement covers pre-employment psychological evaluations and fitness-for-duty examinations for Illinois State Police. BidBuy lists 300 pre-employment evaluations and 15 fitness-for-duty exams in Year 1; 600 pre-employment evaluations and 30 fitness-for-duty exams in Years 2 and 3; and 600 pre-employment evaluations in Years 4 and 5. The public listing shows a contract term from November 6, 2026 through November 6, 2031. Bid pricing, rather than a fixed public award amount, controls the contract value.
Mandatory Bid Components
The official BidBuy page requires a signed contract, a signed Offer to the State of Illinois, Vendor Disclosures or an IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure, and a BEP Utilization Plan. BidBuy states that failure to include the required disclosure or BEP plan is grounds for disqualification. The solicitation carries a 4% BEP participation goal and a 0% VBP goal.
Amendment
Amendment 1 was posted September 3, 2026. It added Vendor Q&A and a revised Contract V2, including a clarification to section 1.1. Any bidder should use the amended documents and verify every qualification and performance requirement in the controlling Contract V2 before submission.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 70/100. This is a potentially relevant Illinois healthcare professional-services procurement, but direct-vendor eligibility should not be treated as established until the amended Contract V2 and Q&A are reviewed for the exact psychologist licensure, staffing, service-location, reporting, insurance, BEP, pricing, and other mandatory requirements.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The scope is psychological evaluation and fitness-for-duty professional services rather than remote physical examination or connected diagnostic technology, so Atlas will not force N9+ into this procurement.
Next Action
The September 11, 2026 bid opening has passed. Preserve the existing BidBuy quote and procurement record, and monitor only for an award notice, cancellation, amendment reopening the competition, or a rebid. Do not initiate a new submission against the elapsed opening.
