CHANGE ORDER NOTICE UltraVend Service Technician

The State of Illinois, through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services and the Department of Human Services' Business Enterprise Program for the Blind, is issuing a Change Order Notice to increase funding for the existing FY26 UltraVend contract by $100,000. This modification seeks to expand service technician coverage for vending equipment management across program-operated facilities. The procured services include the installation, repair, and maintenance of vending equipment, along with equipment maintenance and system updates to ensure efficient and accessible operations at all vendor locations. The primary objective is to ensure that service technician staffing remains adequate to maintain program functionality and operational efficiency across all managed facilities. The change order is being posted on the Bulletin/BidBuy for the mandatory 14-day public posting period, with a posting date of March 27, 2026, and a due date of April 13, 2026. No specific evaluation criteria, incumbent information, or detailed pricing structures are provided in the notice.

The change order notice does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond, nor does it identify the incumbent vendor currently providing these services under the original FY26 UltraVend contract. The modification is deemed germane to the original contract and is subject to provisions under Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code and Sections 1-15.12 of the Procurement Code and 1.2067 of the CPO-GS Administrative Rules. The awarded increase of $100,000 represents an expansion of the existing contract value to support enhanced service technician operations and system maintenance. No alternative funding sources, set-aside information for disadvantaged enterprises, or specific technology integration requirements are detailed in the available documentation. Interested vendors should note that this is a change order modification to an existing contract rather than a new competitive procurement.
