CHANGE ORDER NOTICE-FY24 EBT LINK IV System

The state of Illinois is issuing a change order notice to increase the contract value for the FY24 EBT Link IV System by $17,119,769.29, for a new total contract amount of $52,955,206.78. This change order is needed to cover the additional costs associated with the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Services (P-EBT) program, which is a federal food assistance program offered on a year-by-year basis. While the P-EBT services are related to the original EBT Link IV System contract, the decision to offer the program this coming year was recent, and the current contract did not have adequate funding to cover the increased payments.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. The incumbent vendor for the original EBT Link IV System contract will be responsible for implementing the P-EBT program changes. The total contract value for the change order is $17,119,769.29, which will be in addition to the original contract amount.
