Change order notice - DJS-vtam-SM

The Illinois State Police (ISP) intends to add a change order to their existing contract for annual maintenance and support of Levi, Ray, & Shoup (LRS) VTAM Printer Support (VPS) mainframe software products. The VPS software is embedded in and critical to several of ISP's mission-critical mainframe applications including Criminal History, Payroll, Fiscal, and Timekeeping. Due to delays in decommissioning the mainframe, ISP requires an extension of the existing contract from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which will increase the total cost for FY23 by $31,183.07 from $30,774.87 to $61,957.94. LRS is the sole provider of the VPS software, which they own and hold the copyright for. This is an annual procurement that ISP has made in the past, with FY21 and FY22 purchase order numbers of 20-493ISP-ADMIN-P-18653 and 20-493ISP-ADMIN-P-26677 respectively.

LRS is the incumbent vendor for this contract, and they are the sole source provider of the VPS software. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole source procurement. The original contract sections 2.4, 2.5, and 3.1 are relevant to this change order, which is considered germane to the original contract as the circumstances necessitating it were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed. The total value of the change order is $31,183.07, bringing the total FY23 contract value to $61,957.94.
