In 2017, Arcutek was 1 of 4 bidders considered for a $3,000,000 public sector technology contract for the City Colleges of Chicago and eliminated from consideration for failing to submit according to the requirements of the RFP.[8] Arcutek's management team argued that the company followed the requirements and attempted to contest the award claiming the contract selection process was unfairly conducted and awarded to CDW-Government and Pace Systems Inc.
