Sole Source Change Order : Idemia Autotest Extension

The Illinois Secretary of State is entering into a sole-source change order with Idemia to extend its current contract and add funds for additional AutoTest capabilities, with responses due November 10, 2026. The sole-source basis is the central filter: the agency states that no other vendor can provide these services because Idemia currently prints all of Illinois's driver's licenses.

The change order extends the existing contract for two years, from November 14, 2026, through November 13, 2028. The added funds cover AutoTest work required to meet Real ID requirements, and the agency describes the action as maintaining continuity of driver's license and identification document services while incorporating those enhancements. Idemia is the incumbent and the state's sole driver's license printer.

The Sole Source Justification Form, posted October 30, 2026, is the governing document for pricing, funding sources, and specific scope modifications. A second file, the Sole Source Hearing Details Form Extension, is also attached and states that the extension does not involve competitive bidding.
