Summary of Communication
Rec'd email from Vendor: Hello Martha: I hope you are doing well! I am the Regional Sales Manager for Hirsch Security. We have some new partnerships, and I would love to give you an update and connect with you to see if you would like to see any of our resources. We do a lot of the security for the State of Illinois in Springfield, Illinois Tollroads and schools. We want to help where we can. Hirsch delivers the industry’s advanced security management ecosystem, integrating access control, video surveillance, perimeter protection, identity authentication, intrusion detection, and visitor management. We just came out with the 3-factor scramble pad too. Would you be open to meeting on site? I am working with my solutions engineer, Phil in the Chicagoland area April 29, 30 and May 1st. Let me know! Would love to connect on site! Keli. I responded to the email as follows: Sorry Keli, I am in procurement and do not have meetings with Vendors unless it is about a current contract that is in place. Procurement Code and Rules do not allow us to add new services to an existing contract that were not part of the original solicitation. BidBuy is the e-procurement system that the State of Illinois uses for procurements. I would suggest you monitor BidBuy for any solicitations on which you may want to submit a bid. Thank you
