Renewal Notice - Edenred Commuter Benefit Services

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) is renewing its contract with Edenred Commuter Benefit Solutions, LLC to provide an IRS-approved qualified transportation benefit program for State of Illinois employees. Edenred administers the Commuter Savings Program (CSP), which allows state employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for commuting expenses such as parking and transit. The contract has an initial term of 60 months with 4 renewal options, and the contract value is $430,000. The renewal is part of the Master Contract between the State and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). CMS is renewing the contract based on the purchasing agency's justification that the program provides value to both state employees and the State of Illinois, as the State sees a corresponding reduction in its FICA liability for each dollar employees defer in the program.

This contract opportunity is not a solicitation, but rather a renewal notice. As such, there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as Edenred Commuter Benefit Solutions, LLC is the incumbent vendor. The renewal is based on the existing infrastructure and technology that Edenred currently provides, and there is no budget range specified, as the contract value is a fixed amount of $430,000.
