CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Connect IL Implementation Tech Assistance

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is amending contract P100446 for Connect IL Implementation Tech Assistance to add funding required by the federal Supplemental Deployment Policy Notice (SPDN) released by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in September 2026, with the change order notice posted September 29, 2026 and a 14-day posting period ending October 14, 2026.

The SPDN mandates a second round of subgrantee selection for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. The amendment expands services to support this additional grantee selection in eligible broadband service areas. The original contract scope, rates, and contract terms remain unchanged; the change order adds federal funding to accommodate the expanded requirements.

The amendment increases contract costs by more than $25,000, triggering the mandatory 14-day public posting requirement under Illinois procurement regulations. No specific contract value, contract term, or incumbent information is detailed in the change order notice.
