JPMC EMERGENCY EXTENSION2 - Seed to Sale Inventory Tracking System

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), is seeking to extend an emergency contract for the state's cannabis Seed to Sale (S2S) Inventory Tracking System. The original contract, valued at $300,000, provided licensing, maintenance, and hosting of the cloud-based S2S system that tracks regulated cannabis products from cultivation to sale. This proposed $425,000 extension will maintain these services and add several statutorily required enhancements, including transporter registration, community college requirements, state product holds, inventory adjustments, universal manifesting, agency data reporting, and end-stage testing. Due to the complexity and timing of a competitive joint procurement process, this extension is necessary to prevent disruption in critical state services. The extension term is expected to run from August 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023 and will be funded through state appropriated funds.

The current vendor, BiotrackTHC dba Bio-Tech Medical Software dba Forian, is the incumbent providing these services. As this is an emergency extension, there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Chief Procurement Officer has authorized the emergency extension to August 31, 2022, during which time IDFPR must seek participation from the Business Enterprise Program prior to contract execution. The total estimated value of the extension is $425,000.
