About this file

This is an Emergency Purchase Statement issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services on behalf of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs at the Illinois Veterans Home in LaSalle. The emergency procurement was initiated to address critical staffing shortages affecting the facility's ability to maintain required service levels and provide essential daily care to residents. The vendor, All American Healthcare Services/AA East LLC dba AllShifts, was selected to provide Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to fill vacant positions. LPNs will perform practical nursing functions for geriatric residents under supervision, while CNAs will provide nursing assistance and personal care services including physical care, activities of daily living, vital sign recording, and treatment procedures as directed. The emergency contract was awarded on an estimated basis for a 90-day term, with an effective date of October 1, 2026, and authorization signed on October 5, 2026.

The estimated expenditure for this emergency purchase is $25,000, funded through state appropriation funds. No active state contract was available to meet the immediate staffing need. The agency determined that continuing services with the incumbent vendor, All American Healthcare Services/AA East LLC dba AllShifts, was the best option to prevent disruption in care for veterans and ensure continuity of operations until longer-term contracting and hiring processes could be completed. The vendor was selected based on having trained professional nursing staff ready and available to cover open shifts immediately. Pursuant to 44 Illinois Administrative Code 1.2030(f)(5), an Emergency Final Cost form will be submitted and published by the State Purchasing Officer no later than the tenth day of the succeeding month if the actual cost differs from the estimated amount.
