Change Order Notice JPMC Z5 Ice Cream, Margarine, Dairy, Cheese

This is a change order notice for an existing contract, P-22487, for the provision of ice cream, margarine, dairy, and cheese products to the state of Illinois. The current contract, which was set to expire on September 2, 2020, is being extended for an additional three months until December 2, 2020. This extension is necessary to allow time to complete the new solicitation process, which has been impacted by the COVID-19 response. No additional funds are required for the three-month extension, and this is not an open solicitation, as it is merely an extension of the existing contract to avoid a lapse in coverage while the new solicitation is being prepared.

The notice does not provide any information about set-aside designations, restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, incumbent vendors, current contractors, existing infrastructure or technology requirements, or possible award values or budget ranges. The purpose of this change order is solely to extend the current contract for three months to avoid a lapse in coverage while a new solicitation is being developed.
