Emergency Ex JPMC Data Network Voice

The State of Illinois, Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is seeking to extend an emergency contract for data network voice services. The contract is for the provision of telecommunications services, including transport services, internet egress, DDOS, local voice, long distance, cloud voice, office hand, conferencing, FlexWare, and network function visualization. The services are required to support the State's private telecommunications network and are vital to the daily operations of state agencies, prisons, mental health facilities, and residents of the state. • The contract is for an initial term of 9 months, with an option to extend. • The total value of the contract is estimated to be $9,000,000. • The contract is being extended due to the failure of a previous RFP and the need for the State to maintain uninterrupted services. • The State is currently working on new solicitations to replace this contract, but the extension is necessary to ensure that services continue until the new contracts are in place.
