Amending lease to add Envelop Fuser for enveloping printing and increase monthly lease amount.

The State of Illinois Secretary of State Communications Department awarded an amendment to an existing open market small purchase contract to Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. on May 8, 2026. This amendment adds an EF-108 Envelope Fuser to the state's current leased Konica Minolta AccurioPress C7090 digital press system. The envelope fuser is designed to process envelopes weighing 70-100 gsm with dimensions ranging from 3.94" x 5.82" to 9.65" x 14.76", featuring simplex face-up output capability. The equipment is being deployed to support the Secretary of State's envelope processing operations at the agency's Communications Department location at 319 N Klein Street, Springfield, Illinois.

The amendment carries an additional monthly lease cost of $168.51 for a 23-month period, increasing the overall contract value to $3,875.73. The completion date of the underlying master lease agreement remains April 8, 2028. This amendment does not constitute a change order under the Illinois Procurement Code and was executed under the existing Sourcewell Contract arrangement (Contract #280321-KON) that governs the broader equipment and maintenance services relationship between the State of Illinois and Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.
