Change order notice OLE body cams

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Law Enforcement is issuing a change order to extend its Getac body-worn camera contract by one year, with responses due November 20, 2026. The extension is exercised through the Sourcewell cooperative procurement agreement, so this is a piggyback action on an existing cooperative vehicle, not an open competition. The Illinois Chief Procurement Office processes the change order, and the Agency Purchasing Officer, State Purchasing Officer, and Chief Procurement Officer approved it on November 4-5, 2026. The new contract end date is November 7, 2027, replacing the original November 7, 2026 expiration.

The extension covers body-worn camera systems, in-car video systems, mounting and operating hardware, cloud-based digital video storage, factory and extended warranties, year 2 or 3 body camera refresh provisions, on-site and remote training and setup, and customer service agreements. The attached Getac quotation adds Getac Evidence Licenses with cloud storage, Veritone advanced redaction, Flock Automatic License Plate Reader connectivity, and installation setup. Quantities range from 25 to 350 units or devices depending on the service line. The quotation is valid for 90 days from October 30, 2026.

The change order cites $2,836,995.00 in additional costs for the one-year term, against an original contract value of $2,599,945.00. The attached quotation lists a total quoted amount of $395,500.00 and a requested price of $237,050.00, a discount of $158,450.00 (40.06%).

Getac is the incumbent. The agency justifies the extension by citing roughly two years of investment in the Getac platform, established procedures, evidence management systems, trained personnel, and state law requirements mandating body-worn camera use. It states that switching vendors would incur equipment replacement, evidence migration, retraining, and disruption to public safety compliance.
