The agency is requesting an 18-month extension to the original 90-day emergency contract in order to finalize and publish a long-term contract through a competitive procurement process. This extension will allow IDPH to ensure the new vendor meets all federal and state requirements for storing and managing sensitive medical supplies and equipment.

3. Does this extension change the scope of work? Yes No If yes, please detail below:

4. Provide justification for extending the original emergency contract:

The Agency is requesting an 18-month extension to work on publishing a long-term contract. Due to the sensitive nature of the product being stored at this facility and the requirement that the vendor be approved to store medical supplies, IDPH must ensure that the company meets the storage requirement and maintains federal approval. These processes take time beyond the normal IFB. Because of the nature of the requirement, every detail needs to be spelled out in the contract and vetted by not only IDPH but also our federal partners. IDPH is currently working on a long-term solution, but the IFB will take longer than the original Emergency contract allows to finish.

5. Does this emergency contract correct or eliminate the emergency condition?

Yes No Please detail:

Within the 18 months that IDPH requests this extension, IDPH will get an IFB in place and publish it, and it will ensure the new vendor can meet federal pharmaceutical storage requirements a vendor awarded in a competitive procurement process. The vendor awarded will become the latest vendor for the warehouse space, and IDPH will have a long-term contract back in place.

6. Explain why the need cannot be met through a competitive procurement process.

The Agency is actively working on an IFB that we will need sometime to get published. The IFB has been put on the newest template and is in the very early stages of editing and going to the program area for input on specifications.

7. Is a competitive procurement in process to replace this emergency contract?

Yes No Status: in development

8. What is the effect of a denial of this extension request?

If this request is denied, the Agency will have 900 pallets of medical supplies and equipment meant for federal-level emergancy response to medical outbreaks that would sit and deteriorate. These medical supplies and equipment are the state's initial response in a medical emergancy while awaiting federal assistance for additional requirements. IDPH will need a warehouse to store these pallets, which must be stored in a dry or climate-controlled space due to the nature of pharmaceuticals and equipment like ventilators that lose their effectiveness if allowed to deteriorate in the wrong environment. If this request is not approved, IDPH will have to locate controlled warehouse space with room for all pallets, costing the state a lot of time and money.

TextField2: The Agency is requesting an 18-month extension to work on publishing a long-term contract. Due to the sensitive nature of the product being stored at this facility and the requirement that the vendor be approved to store medical supplies, IDPH must ensure that the company meets the storage requirement and maintains federal approval. These processes take time beyond the normal IFB. Because of the nature of the requirement, every detail needs to be spelled out in the contract and vetted by not only IDPH but also our federal partners. IDPH is currently working on a long-term solution, but the IFB will take longer than the original Emergency contract allows to finish.

TextField10: Within the 18 months that IDPH requests this extension, IDPH will get an IFB in place and publish it, and it will ensure the new vendor can meet federal pharmaceutical storage requirements a vendor awarded in a competitive procurement process. The vendor awarded will become the latest vendor for the warehouse space, and IDPH will have a long-term contract back in place.
TextField12: The Agency is actively working on an IFB that we will need sometime to get published. The IFB has been put on the newest template and is in the very early stages of editing and going to the program area for input on specifications.

TextField14: If this request is denied, the Agency will have 900 pallets of medical supplies and equipment meant for federal-level emergancy response to medical outbreaks that would sit and deteriorate. These medical supplies and equipment are the state's initial response in a medical emergancy while awaiting federal assistance for additional requirements. IDPH will need a warehouse to store these pallets, which must be stored in a dry or climate-controlled space due to the nature of pharmaceuticals and equipment like ventilators that lose their effectiveness if allowed to deteriorate in the wrong environment. If this request is not approved, IDPH will have to locate controlled warehouse space with room for all pallets, costing the state a lot of time and money.
