About this file

This Change Order Notice pertains to the Illinois Department of Employment Security's existing metered postage services contract with Pitney Bowes. The change order addresses an increase in contract funding necessary to sustain essential mailing services through the remainder of the fiscal year 2026 term. The original contract was established based on estimated postage usage projections; however, actual usage has significantly exceeded those initial estimates due to increased mailing volume required to support agency operations.

The cost increase of $560,000.00 is justified by actual usage trending approximately 18 percent above initial estimates, rendering the current contract amount insufficient to meet the agency's ongoing postage needs through the remainder of the contract term. This change order was posted on the Bulletin/BidBuy for the required 14-day posting period, as mandated for cost increases exceeding $25,000. The circumstances necessitating this increase were determined to be germane to the original contract as signed, ensuring compliance with state and federal mailing requirements and maintaining continuity of essential services.
