EXTENSION - JPMC Glass Beads for Traffic Paint

The state of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) is extending an existing contract (P8273) with Potters Industries, Inc. for the supply of JPMC Glass Beads for Traffic Paint. This contract extension is necessary due to the lack of responsive bids received in the previous solicitation (B-14197). The extension will maintain the state's supply of these necessary materials while CMS conducts a new solicitation. The contract extension is for 3 months and is in compliance with procurement regulations regarding renegotiated contracts and change orders. The goods being procured are JPMC Glass Beads for use in traffic paint applications across the state.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to the upcoming solicitation. Potters Industries, Inc. is the incumbent vendor for this contract. The previous solicitation did not result in any responsive bids, so the value of the new contract is unknown at this time. CMS is extending the existing contract to bridge the gap while a new solicitation is conducted to ensure continued supply of the necessary materials.
