Change Order Notice Chief Procurement Office for General Services Change Order Notice V.23.2 Page of Notice of renegotiated contracts and change orders that increase the cost of a contract by more than $25,000 or the time of completion by a total of 180 days or more shall be posted on the Bulletin/BidBuy for 14 days.

This Change Order Notice provides detail as to why the change order is needed and, pursuant to Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, that the circumstances said to necessitate the change in performance were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed or the change is germane to the original contract as signed. Change orders are defined by Section 1-15.12 of the Procurement Code and Section 1.2067 of the CPO-GS' Administrative Rules.

Detailed explanation for this change order:

11.0.0.20130303.1.892433.887364

When ISAC's original contract with Pearson was procured as a Sole Source, it was executed for a term of 1/9/2024 through 6/30/2024 (term being less than 6 months). The reasoning for the short initial term was because at the time, Illinois State Board of Education's (ISBE) contract with Pearson for the Illinois Licensure Testing System (ILTS) tests, which are administered exclusively on behalf of ISBE by Pearson, was set to expire on 6/30/2024. Therefore, ISAC set the Pearson contract to align with the expiration date as it was unknown whether there would be a vendor change upon expiration of ISBE's contract.

The change in time of 9 months will allow ISAC to complete a procurement for a multi-year contract for the teacher test prep services to match ISBE's current contract through FY2034. If a new contract is entered into as a result of an RFP conducted during the 9 month timespan, this CO/extension would be canceled.

If this contract is not extended, ISAC would fail to meet the requirements of a legislatively mandated program, Illinois Prepare for Future Program, by not providing the test preparation services.
