RENEWAL NOTICE- Housing Locator Website

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services is exercising a renewal option on the Housing Locator Website contract with Emphasys Computer Solutions on behalf of the Illinois Housing Development Authority, with the renewal effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2028 and a renewal notice issued July 30, 2026.

This is a renewal of an existing contract — no new solicitation is being issued. The renewal is the fourth option under the original agreement and will proceed without competitive rebidding. The total renewal amount is $629,850 for Housing Locator Website services and support. A Business Enterprise Program (BEP) utilization requirement of 7 percent applies; Emphasys has identified Rocket Productions as the BEP subcontractor receiving 7 percent of the award. No Veterans Business Program participation is required.

This notice signals contract continuity for the incumbent vendor and any firms dependent on subcontracting relationships with Emphasys on this vehicle. Firms pursuing Illinois HDA housing-technology contracts should monitor for any future competitive solicitations once the renewal term expires.
