Jpmc - change order - casual footwear - shoe corporation of birmingham

This is not a competitive solicitation opportunity. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) is issuing a Change Order to extend an existing contract for casual footwear with Shoe Corporation of Birmingham Inc. from August 24, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The original four-year contract had expired on May 24, 2020, and a previous 90-day extension is set to end on August 24, 2020. This contract extension will allow state agencies and authorized not-for-profit organizations to continue obtaining casual footwear during the interim period until a new competitive solicitation process is completed for a new contract. The contract extension is being issued pursuant to Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, as the circumstances necessitating the extension were not reasonably foreseeable when the original contract was signed.

This contract extension does not involve a competitive solicitation. The incumbent vendor is Shoe Corporation of Birmingham Inc., which held the original four-year contract. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is not a new solicitation. The possible award value or budget range is not specified, as this is simply an extension of an existing contract to avoid a lapse in coverage for casual footwear procurement by state agencies and authorized not-for-profit organizations.
