Change Order Notice - Automated Weather Observation Services (AWOS) - Amendment #3

The State of Illinois is issuing a Change Order Notice (Amendment #3) for Automated Weather Observation Services (AWOS) maintenance across the state. This procurement extends the current contract from December 29, 2025, through March 28, 2026, to ensure continuous coverage and prevent service lapses as the existing contract expires on December 28, 2025. The selected vendor will be responsible for performing maintenance on all non-federal AWOS sites throughout Illinois while ensuring full compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintenance requirements. The primary objective is to maintain operational weather observation infrastructure across the state while providing adequate time for the state to conduct a rebid of the Invitation for Bid (IFB) and secure a new long-term contract. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the December 29, 2025, deadline. Bidders are required to provide complete taxpayer identification information, including either a Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number, and must certify their U.S. person status and confirm they are not subject to IRS backup withholding. The change order includes additional monetary allocation to cover the operational costs during this extension period.

The state has not disclosed specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) restrictions, or preferences for particular organizational types in the available documentation. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information has been provided in the posted materials. Similarly, the specific award value or budget allocation for this change order amendment has not been publicly disclosed. Interested vendors should refer to the complete solicitation documents and the submitted Taxpayer Identification Number form to ensure all compliance requirements are met prior to submission. Organizations seeking clarification on eligibility, contract scope, or financial terms should contact the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office directly to obtain additional details regarding this AWOS maintenance contract extension.
