Sole Source Justification Form Part One~2.pdf

This Sole Source Justification Form Part One pertains to a change order issued by the Illinois Secretary of State with Idemia for driver license printing services. The justification document supports the sole source procurement approach for an increase to an existing contract (25IT133001) related to Real ID compliance requirements. The change order seeks to expand the scope of the current printing services to accommodate additional Real ID-related production needs for the state's driver license program.

The change order increase is valued at $179,040 and represents a sole source award to Idemia, the incumbent contractor currently performing driver license printing services for Illinois. The justification for sole sourcing to Idemia is based on Real ID requirements that necessitate continuation with the existing vendor to ensure seamless integration with current printing systems, security features, and established production processes. No competitive bidding process is indicated for this change order, as the procurement utilizes the sole source justification framework specific to the identified vendor's existing capabilities and contractual relationship with the state.
