About this file
This is a Sole Source Purchase Announcement from City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) announcing the intent to award a contract to One Million Degrees for professional coaching, skill-building workshops, financial assistance, and career navigation services for eligible CCC students. The announcement establishes a public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. CDT via Zoom teleconference to allow interested parties to testify regarding the sole source determination. Registration for the hearing must be completed by March 13, 2026, by contacting William Moore, Procurement Contracts Administrator, at (773) 487-6958 or Wmoore48@ccc.edu. CCC reserves the right to cancel the procurement prior to any scheduled hearing, and participants are responsible for confirming hearing details with Angela Arrington-Jones, Vice Chancellor of Business and Procurement Services.
City Colleges of Chicago determined that this purchase is only economically available from One Million Degrees because the organization is uniquely positioned as the only entity with an established service delivery history and existing infrastructure across multiple CCC campuses. The service model is directly integrated into CCC's student retention efforts and cannot be duplicated without access to One Million Degrees' proprietary curriculum, volunteer network, and on-site relationships. No specific contract amount, pricing terms, or contract duration are disclosed in this announcement. Interested vendors may submit a signed statement demonstrating capability to provide the stated services at or below a specified amount to trigger a public hearing if no timely request to testify is otherwise received.
