THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Southern Illinois University’s Board approved a three‑year Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the entire SIU System, purchased through CDW Government, LLC under an IPHEC contract. The agreement, not to exceed 1750000 over three years, covers Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and shared device licenses used extensively in instruction, academic support, and administrative workflows.
The decision maintains broad campus access rather than moving to limited per‑user licensing, which leadership concluded would be disruptive. For IT and EdTech vendors, this confirms Adobe as the entrenched content and document platform across SIUC (including the School of Medicine) and SIUE through roughly mid‑2029, and indicates ongoing needs around integration, training, accessibility, workflow automation, and potential complementary tools rather than replacement in the near term.
Funding will be proportionally allocated between SIUC (including School of Medicine) and SIUE via their designated technology funding sources; purchased via IPHEC cooperative contract.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Southern Illinois University-System Office issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Southern Illinois University-System Office's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Southern Illinois University-System Office before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more information technology government opportunities in Illinois?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces information technology pre-RFPs in Illinois as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
