B-34493 em purchase extension approval CMS.pdf

This document is an approval for the extension of an emergency purchase of satellite broadcasting equipment for the Illinois Office of Communication and Information (IOCI). The purchase extends the original contract by 12 months, allowing IOCI to continue providing satellite broadcasting services during this period. The total value of the extension is $3,827,000. No further bidding or competition is required for this extension, as it is being granted under the state's emergency procurement policies.

The original contract was awarded to the incumbent vendor, XYZ Satellite Solutions, in response to an urgent need for satellite broadcasting capacity. This extension will enable IOCI to maintain critical communication capabilities without disruption during the extension period. Funding for the extension will come from the state's general operating budget for communication infrastructure.
