This is a Language Amendment Notification document issued by the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) to Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc., dated September 23, 2024, regarding Solicitation #23319 for Fresh Bread with a bid opening date of July 23, 2024 and PC70509. The document notifies the contractor of amended language in Section 6.2 Short term Extension and requires acknowledgment of the changes through signatures from both parties - Angela Bell as Bid Coordinator for Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. and Julie Carlson (CMS 3) representing the State of New York Office of General Services.

The amendment specifically removes strikethrough language from Section 6.2 that previously restricted short-term extensions, clarifying that contracts may be extended unilaterally by the State for up to 30 calendar days with contractor notice, and with contractor concurrence, extensions may be up to 90 calendar days instead of 30. The language change eliminates previous restrictions that limited extensions based on replacement contract issuance or transition periods for authorized users to alternative procurement methods. The document was approved by the Department of Audit & Control on October 31, 2024, and signed by Randolph McConnach for the State Comptroller, indicating final approval of the contract language modification.
