Change Order Notice JPMC Z1 Ice Cream Margarine Dairy Cheese

This is not an open solicitation, but rather a change order to extend the existing contract P-3294 for JPMC Z1 Ice Cream, Margarine, Dairy, and Cheese for the state of Illinois. The current contract was set to expire on 09/03/2020, and this change order extends the contract period by 3 months, until 12/03/2020. This extension is necessary to allow for the completion of a new solicitation due to the interruption of normal operations caused by the COVID-19 response. No additional funds are required for this 3-month extension. The Change Order Notice indicates that the original contract circumstances were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and the change is germane to the original contract. This extension is being made in accordance with Illinois procurement regulations that require notice of contract renegotiations and change orders that increase the cost or time of completion.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order, as it is an extension of an existing contract. The incumbent vendor is JPMC, and there are no indications of required integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The total value of the 3-month contract extension is not specified, but is likely to be in line with the previous contract value.
