The consolidated listing includes an explicit jurisdictional overlap: Solicitation 26140 references an Illinois workforce development One-Stop Operator while the Florida portal contact is listed as 352-343-9839. The Lake County, Illinois purchasing page excerpt separately notes a Purchasing Division phone 847-377-2929 and states that most RFPs and bid solicitations can be viewed and printed from the Lake County Purchasing Portal. The portal excerpts also show differing time formats - the consolidated table lists due times as 11:00 AM, CST while many FL excerpt entries list 3:00:00 PM without an attached timezone. For bidders on Highland Lake, Saunders Road, LCPW supply or other projects, the portal provides the solicitation IDs and contact names above; award decisions and vendor names are not included in these excerpts and must be confirmed on the Lake County Purchasing Portal or by contacting Procurement Services at 352-343-9839.
