Jpmc - change order - drugs and pharmaceuticals

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) is seeking to extend the current Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals for a 6-month period from March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021. This extension is necessary to complete the solicitation process for a new contract to provide life sustaining and other drugs and pharmaceuticals to using agencies, governmental units, and/or not-for-profits. The original JPMC 18-416CMS-BOSS4-P-376 contract had an award amount of $936,212,992.00, with an estimated spend of $458,757,687.88 since inception. This time-only extension will allow users to continue leveraging the State's buying power versus making individual small purchases at a higher cost.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this contract opportunity. The current incumbent vendor is not specified. The extension is designed to avoid a lapse in coverage while a new solicitation is completed, and this will be the final extension for this contract.
