CHANGE ORDER NOTICE-Pharmacy System Amendment

The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Chief Procurement Office for General Services is issuing a Change Order Notice to amend an existing contract (4100222212, P-85550) for the 24-OCAPS Pharmacy System. This procurement modification adds the Fusion 360 software component to the current pharmacy system contract to achieve compliance with new Federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requirements. The Fusion 360 solution delivers comprehensive functionality across ten DSCSA mandates, including supplier validation, historical and current data management through Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN) and Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS), quarantine protocols for suspected illegitimate drugs, FDA and trading partner notification procedures, government authority response capabilities with reduced response times from 48 to 24 hours, serialization and lot number data validation, internal system integration, secure interoperability standards, and enhanced drug distribution security reporting with electronic tracing capabilities at the package level to support inspection requirements. The change order increases the initial contract term by $197,600.00 to implement these compliance enhancements. The notice was posted on April 27, 2026, and is subject to a 14-day public posting period as mandated by Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, with a response due date of May 12, 2026. This amendment is considered germane to the original contract as it addresses Federal requirements that could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of initial contract execution.

The change order notice does not specify any designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on respondent eligibility in the available documentation. The amendment modifies the existing contract with the incumbent contractor for the 24-OCAPS Pharmacy System and requires integration with the current pharmacy system infrastructure already in place. The Fusion 360 software component is specifically designed to enhance the existing system's capabilities rather than replace it entirely. The financial impact of this change order is an increase of $197,600.00 to the contract value, reflecting the cost necessary to integrate advanced pharmaceutical supply chain security features into the existing pharmacy system. As this is a change order amendment to an existing contract rather than a new competitive procurement, the modification follows the established contracting procedures for amendments that exceed the $25,000 threshold for public notification under Illinois law.
