To prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial State revenues

Reason for selection of this particular vendor:

The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs - LaSalle Home does not have a pharmacy contract in place at this moment. The LaSalle Home does not have an On-Site Pharmacy and needs to contract out with a Vendor to ensure continued Pharmaceutical operations at the Home. The current vendor was the low price responsive bidder on B-14049, Enloe Drugs/dba Omnicare of the Quad Cities who transferred services to JHC Acquisition Inc. DBA Omnicare of Northern Illinois due to a pharmacy consolidation. We would like to continue with this vendor during the emergency as the home is all set up with working with them and using their med carts, they deliver 6 days a week to the home. This emergency contract will allow the Agency time to properly procure a new competitive contract for the Home. This emergency contract will be cancelled when the new competitively bid contract is in place.

List the actions taken by the agency that constitute its best efforts to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program in this emergency purchase:
