Change Order Notice: Technical Supportive Services for Districts 1 - 3

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is issuing a change order for Technical Supportive Services contract for Districts 1-3, extending the current procurement through a time extension from February 1, 2025, to May 1, 2025. This contract modification is designed to maintain continuous technical support and outreach services to IDOT and the Office of OBWD Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). The primary objectives include providing ongoing technical assistance, ensuring uninterrupted service coverage, and bridging the gap while a new contract is being secured. The change order is being implemented to prevent any service lapse and maintain critical support for minority and disadvantaged business enterprises within highway districts. The procurement opportunity is officially posted on January 28, 2025, with a response deadline of February 11, 2025. The specific services will involve continued technical supportive services and strategic outreach efforts across the specified geographic districts.

The contract appears to have a specific focus on supporting Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), which suggests potential set-aside considerations or preferential treatment for qualifying organizations. While precise award values are not explicitly stated, the change order implies a budget allocation sufficient to maintain current service levels through May 1, 2025. The procurement is specifically targeted at vendors with expertise in technical support and DBE outreach within transportation-related contexts. The reference number B-46358 indicates this is a structured procurement process within the Illinois state government's procurement system. The opportunity is being posted on the state's Bulletin/BidBuy system, which requires a mandatory 14-day posting period. Although specific incumbent vendors are not mentioned, the change order suggests an existing contractual relationship that is being extended to ensure continuity of critical technical support services for transportation districts.
