Sole Source Justification Form for Idemia Autotest Extension

This is a Sole Source Justification Form submitted by the Illinois Secretary of State for a change order with Idemia, the incumbent vendor currently providing all driver's license printing services for the state. The contract extension is proposed for a two-year term from November 14, 2026, through November 13, 2028, with the primary objective of extending current printing services and adding funds to support additional AutoTest capabilities required to meet Real ID compliance requirements. The justification for sole source procurement is based on Idemia's exclusive current position as the sole provider of driver's license printing services in Illinois, making them the only vendor capable of providing the requested services.

The sole source determination reflects that no alternative vendors can fulfill these services due to Idemia's existing monopoly on driver's license production for the state. This change order approach allows the state to maintain continuity of critical identification document services while incorporating the necessary AutoTest enhancements mandated by Real ID requirements. Additional details regarding pricing, funding sources, and specific scope modifications are contained within the complete Sole Source Justification Form documentation.
