The awarded vendor is EMS Midwest, LLC, with a contract execution date of May 5, 2026, and a notice posting date of May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 19, 2026. The lease represents specialized space available at only one location with less than 10,000 square feet and annual rent below $200,000, which qualified it for the alternative source selection method specified under 30 ILCS 500/40-15(b). The procurement was conducted without competitive bidding due to the specialized nature and limited availability of the property, and no unsuccessful respondents were recorded in the award process. The contract agency contact for inquiries is Jessica Decker at DCEO offices located at 313 S 6th Street, Springfield, Illinois 62701, reachable at 217-299-2546 or jessica.decker@illinois.gov.

The procurement bid number is 26-416CMS-LEAS4-B-52156.
