Change order notice - MC milk and juice cartons for ICI 2

This state contract opportunity is a change order notice from the Illinois Central Management Services (CMS) agency regarding contract P-279 for the procurement of milk and juice cartons for the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI). The existing contract, which was set to expire on 11/30/2020, is being extended by an additional 7 months to 06/30/2021. This extension is necessary to allow time for CMS to assess future needs, as the recent solicitation for a new contract received no bids. The change order increases the contract value by $402,747.07 to cover the extended term. The extension is being issued in accordance with Illinois procurement regulations, which require notification of contract renegotiations and changes that increase the cost or duration by significant amounts. This extension is deemed necessary and germane to the original contract, as the circumstances requiring the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was initially signed.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. The incumbent vendor is not stated, nor is any information provided about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total contract value after the extension is not explicitly stated, but the change order indicates an increase of $402,747.07, suggesting the overall contract value could be in the range of several hundred thousand dollars or more.
