"RENEWAL NOTICE" IPASS Distribution and Back-End Support Services

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services is executing a renewal notice for IPASS Distribution and Back-End Support Services through the Illinois Toll Highway Authority. This procurement represents a one-year contract renewal for comprehensive distribution and technical support services related to the I-PASS electronic toll collection system. The contract, originally bid under number B-4599 and currently under renewal bid number B-46395, will run from March 12, 2025 to March 11, 2026. The renewal opportunity is specifically for continuing existing services without a new competitive solicitation, focusing on maintaining ongoing IPASS distribution infrastructure and backend technological support. The due date for this renewal notice is February 21, 2025, with the contract award already determined and documented in the attached Notice of Award.

The contract includes specific diversity and inclusion requirements, mandating 25% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation and 3% Veterans Business Program (VBP) participation. IGOR The Watchdog Corp. has been awarded the contract, with 100% of the contract value allocated to them as a certified BEP vendor. The total contract renewal value is $2,378,000.00, representing a substantial investment in maintaining critical electronic toll collection infrastructure. The procurement appears to be restricted to pre-qualified vendors with specific technological capabilities in electronic toll system management and distribution services. This renewal maintains continuity of existing services and supports the Illinois Toll Highway Authority's operational requirements through a targeted, single-source contract extension that leverages the incumbent vendor's established expertise and infrastructure.
