CHANGE ORDER NOTICE- DMH EMHC FY26 Kalco Laundry Increase

The State of Illinois Department of Mental Health (DMH) has issued Change Order Notice B-52243 to amend and increase the existing contract amount with Kalco Laundry for laundry services provided under the Department of Mental Health's Evaluation and Management of Health Care (EMHC) program for fiscal year 2026. This is a change order to an incumbent contract rather than a new solicitation, meaning no competitive bidding process is involved. The procurement involves the continued provision of laundry services to support DMH's operational needs, with the specific deliverables and service scope maintained under the terms and conditions of the original contract. The change order was posted on April 29, 2026, with a due date of May 13, 2026. While the full details regarding the specific dollar amount of the increase, detailed funding sources, and comprehensive service specifications are contained within the full change order documentation, this amendment represents a formal authorization for financial expansion to the current service agreement to address operational demands or other fiscal adjustments during the fiscal year.

As an amendment to an existing contract rather than a new competitive procurement, this change order maintains service continuity with the incumbent provider, Kalco Laundry, and does not open the opportunity to other potential vendors or applicants. The notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational types, as this is an internal contract modification with an established vendor. The specific award value or budget range for the contract increase is not disclosed in the summary information available, though this information would be detailed in the full Change Order Notice B-52243 documentation. This type of modification represents standard procurement practice for contracts requiring service adjustments during the fiscal year due to operational demands, inflation adjustments, or scope expansions within the existing contractual framework.
