CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Meat Casings for ICI

This is a change order notice for a contract for Meat Casings for the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI). The original solicitation for these meat casings was issued on a Joint Purchase Master Contract, but no responsive bids were received. As the solicitation evaluation is still ongoing, a new solicitation cannot be issued at this time, and a change order is being issued pursuant to state procurement regulations to extend the existing contract for an additional six months from 09/30/2020 to 03/30/2021. This change order is intended to address circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed and is germane to the original agreement.

The contract is for the provision of meat casings for meat production for the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI). As this is a change order, no new qualifications or evaluation criteria are listed. The original contract was issued under Master Legacy Contract 20-416CMS-BOSS4-P-12584, and the change order notice was issued on September 29, 2020, with a due date of October 14, 2020. No specific award value or budget range is provided, as this is an extension of an existing contract.
