SBE: CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - MY18842 - Lanter Distributing - JP

The State of Illinois is issuing a change order notice for contract MY18842 with Lanter Distributing for the distribution and storage of USDA food statewide. The change order increases the contract value by $125,000 to cover a significant rise in diesel fuel prices that was unanticipated during the initial contract negotiations. The additional funding will allow Lanter Distributing to continue delivering USDA food statewide as required under the contract terms. No other changes are being made to the contract scope or specifications.

This change order is being issued pursuant to state procurement regulations that require notice of renegotiated contracts and change orders exceeding $10,000 in value. The original contract with Lanter Distributing was a large component of the state's efforts to distribute food statewide. The change order deadline is June 22, 2022. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a modification to an existing contract rather than a new procurement. The incumbent vendor is Lanter Distributing, and the total value of the modified contract is not specified.
