Change Order Notice - Automated Weather Observation Services (AWOS) - Amendment #2

The State of Illinois has issued a Change Order Notice for Automated Weather Observation Services (AWOS), specifically seeking to extend the current contract from July 1, 2025 to December 28, 2025. This procurement is focused on maintaining non-federal AWOS sites throughout the state to ensure compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintenance requirements. The primary objective is to provide a time extension and additional funding to prevent a contract lapse while the state secures a new long-term contract. The change order will support continued maintenance of weather observation equipment critical to aviation safety and operational readiness. The due date for this change order is June 20, 2025, with the current contract set to expire on June 30, 2025. The vendor will be responsible for comprehensive maintenance of all non-federal AWOS sites, ensuring continuous operational status and adherence to federal regulatory standards.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be focused on technical maintenance services within the aviation infrastructure domain. The change order suggests continuity of services with the existing vendor, though no specific incumbent vendor is named. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but implies sufficient funding to maintain AWOS sites and prevent service interruption. The scope of work is narrowly defined to maintain weather observation equipment across non-federal sites in Illinois, indicating a specialized technical service requirement. The contract appears to be structured as a critical infrastructure maintenance agreement, likely requiring vendors with specific technical expertise in aviation weather observation systems and FAA compliance protocols.
