Change Order Notice V.25.1 8.28.24.pdf

This Change Order Notice document pertains to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) and represents an extension of its existing contract with Parchment for Electronic Transcript Services. The procurement is being administered by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office and involves the continuation of current electronic transcript services rather than a new competitive bidding process. These services enable the secure transmission and management of academic transcripts for Illinois students and educational institutions. The proposal submission deadline is February 16, 2026, and bidders must submit completed Invitation for Bid forms in full compliance with all stated requirements, including appropriate affidavits or designations to claim applicable Illinois Procurement Code preferences such as Illinois Business Preference or Domestic Product Preference. Failure to meet stated requirements will result in bid disqualification, and the State reserves the right to accept or reject any proposed exceptions to the Standard Terms and Conditions.

Parchment is the incumbent vendor and will continue as the primary electronic transcript service provider under this contract extension. All bidders must comply with the State's Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veterans Business Program (VBP) requirements if applicable to their organizational status. Vendors are permitted to submit redlined versions of standard terms with their proposals, subject to State acceptance or rejection. The specific contract value for the extension period is not explicitly stated in the available documentation. Interested vendors should reference the Illinois Chief Procurement Office website for the complete Standard Terms and Conditions that will govern the resulting contract, as this change order represents a continuation of services rather than a new procurement award.
