CHANGE ORDER NOTICE BALC Surveyors P-45442/Clone B-52501

The Illinois Department of Human Services, Bureau of Accreditation, Licensure, and Certification (BALC) is posting a Change Order Notice for an extension of contractual surveyor services with Highgate Management Solutions, Inc., with a public review period closing June 17, 2026. This is a reposting of a previously cancelled solicitation (26-444DHS-DEVDI-B-52501).

The contract extends through December 31, 2026 and deploys seven contractual surveyor resources to conduct state-mandated licensure and certification surveys of Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILAs), Community Day Services (CDS), and Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs. The change order increases total contract cost by $490,232, driven by documented understaffing and backlog management within BALC. The incumbent contractor, Highgate Management Solutions, Inc., is the sole awardee under the extended contract.

This is a change order notice posted for mandatory public review under state procurement regulations due to the increase exceeding $25,000. No open competitive bidding period is indicated; the posting serves as public notice of the contract modification.
