CHANGE ORDER NOTICE Hologic NG/NT Testing and Kits

The Illinois Department of Public Health, through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services, has issued a change order notice for Hologic NG/NT testing and kits under Contract 68500013N (BidBuy Reference 27-482DPH-OFCDI-B-53956), with responses due October 13, 2026. The change order corrects publication errors in the original IFB and realigns contract quantities to actual statewide sexually transmitted infection testing demand.

The Carbondale Laboratory operates under a Hologic Panther NAAT platform reagent rental agreement that includes free instrumentation, preventive maintenance, repairs, replacement parts, installation, training, and technical support. The original IFB inadvertently listed annual quantities at 15,000 NG/CT tests and 15,000 collection kits. The amended contract increases annual testing volume to 25,000 tests (10,000 additional) and annual kit volume to 30,000 collection kits (15,000 additional) to meet actual laboratory demand.

The original contract maximum was $525,000. This change order increases the cost by $375,000, or $75,000 per year, resulting in a revised total contract cost of $900,000 over the remaining five-year initial term. The contract retains potential for a ten-year duration. All other contract terms, conditions, unit pricing, and vendor obligations remain unchanged. The change order meets the BidBuy posting threshold as it increases contract cost by more than $25,000 and requires 14 days of public notice.
