JPMC - Change Order - SCHOOL BUSES

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is seeking to extend the existing Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) 20-416CMS-BOSS4-P-18131 for school buses. This time-only contract extension will allow the state to complete the solicitation process for a new school bus contract, enabling government agencies, units, and not-for-profit organizations to continue leveraging the state's buying power rather than making individual, more costly purchases. The original Notice of Award amount was $2,675,143.50, and the current spend since contract inception is $3,927,467.00. This extension, which runs from September 15, 2022 to December 31, 2022, will not incur any additional costs.

The procurement is limited to the jurisdiction of St. Clair County, Illinois. While the pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent, and funding information were not provided in the documentation, the extension indicates that a new school bus contract will eventually be awarded through a competitive solicitation process. Interested parties should monitor the state's procurement website for updates on the upcoming solicitation and any associated requirements or evaluation criteria.
