# Chicago Directs Contractor Integrity Rules

Chicago Executive Order No. 2026-6 directs the City’s chief procurement officer to issue implementing procurement rules by November 24, 2026, 32 days from October 23. The rules will affect current and prospective city contractors with contracts above the $250,000 Small Order Limit, requiring five-year public-integrity certifications, corresponding subcontractor requirements, and annual disclosures. Evidence of specified misconduct may trigger disqualification even without a judicial or administrative finding.

- Contractors above the threshold should review their integrity-certification and annual-disclosure processes and identify information they may need from subcontractors.
- Subcontractors may also face corresponding requirements, so primes should assess how to collect and verify relevant subcontractor information.
- The chief procurement officer’s implementing rules are due November 24, 2026; their details will determine how affected businesses document certifications and disclosures.
