CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Non-Fat Dry Milk for ICI Hill and Vandalia 10-26-20

This contract opportunity is for a change order to extend an existing agreement for the provision of Non-Fat Dry Milk to the Illinois Correctional Industries (ICI) facilities in Hill and Vandalia. Due to staffing shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) was unable to complete the re-procurement process for this contract prior to the expiration of the existing agreement. As a result, CMS is issuing a 2-month extension to the current contract at no additional cost in order to finalize the sampling process for the new procurement. The change order is being issued pursuant to the requirements of the Illinois Procurement Code, which mandate the posting of such change orders that increase the contract value by more than $10,000 or extend the completion time by more than 30 days.

The details of the original procurement, including the pricing terms, set asides, incumbent vendors, and funding sources are not specified in the Change Order Notice. However, the notice indicates that this is an existing contract that is being extended, rather than a new procurement opportunity. As such, the current contractor(s) would likely be eligible to continue providing services under the extended agreement, and there may be limitations on the types of organizations that can respond to any future solicitation for this requirement.
