2-MWJ2601-Appendix II-Authorized Travel Service Providers-12122025.xlsx

This is an Appendix II document for the City Colleges of Chicago's Travel Management Services Request for Proposal (RFP #MWJ2601), located in Illinois. The document outlines the authorized travel service providers that qualified firms must identify and integrate into their online search platforms to support domestic and international travel services for students, staff, employees, groups, and athletic teams across the district. The RFP seeks qualified firms to provide travel services on an as-needed basis, with proposals due by January 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. Proposers are required to demonstrate access to and partnerships with national, regional, and international airline carriers; hotel brands; and car rental and ground transportation providers. Additionally, proposers must indicate availability for Amtrak reservations within their online booking systems.

The appendix functions as a critical evaluation tool requiring bidders to document their authorized travel service provider networks across multiple transportation and lodging categories. This specification ensures that the selected travel management firm can offer comprehensive booking capabilities and competitive rates across a broad spectrum of travel options. The document does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, or renewal options within this particular appendix, though these details would be contained in other sections of the RFP. Bidders must complete the provider inventory matrix by identifying the total counts of available options within each service category to demonstrate the breadth and depth of their travel management platform capabilities.
