State Furniture Policy Changes

Changes to the State Property Control Act 30 ILCS 605 (effective 1/1/2025)

Departments that desire to purchase new furniture must check with Central Management Services (CMS) Property Control Division (located in Springfield, Illinois) only when the individual item of furniture is priced at $1,500 or more.

If the individual item of furniture is below $1,500, there is no requirement to check with CMS before placing the furniture order.

If the individual item of furniture is $1,500 or more, you must email CMS the vendor quote inquiring whether the State of Illinois Surplus Property Warehouse has items that can be utilized. The email address is JR.Pickett@illinois.gov. Include the email response from CMS stating the item is not available with your purchase request.

If an item is available from the CMS warehouse, you will receive coordinating instructions from the State of Illinois Surplus Property Warehouse.
