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 2020 and it contains one hundred and one filings with this office.

 

 

 

Yours truly,

 

 

 

FRANK J. MAUTINO

Auditor General
