Description
The Illinois Secretary of State is seeking approval for a sole‑source change order with IDEMIA to extend the existing Auto Testing system contract for Real ID driver‑license issuance. The extension adds funds for Idemia’s AutoTest capability and continues operation of the automated driver‑testing machines for an additional two‑year period (Nov 14 2026 – Nov 13 2028). No competitive bidding is being conducted; interested parties may only submit comments or request a hearing by the November 9 deadline.
• Extension of current IDEMIA AutoTest contract for a total value of approximately $3.9 M.
• Adds funds for testing machines, translation services, and new workstations to support Real ID compliance.
• Sole‑source justification based on time constraints and lack of viable alternatives; procurement will be awarded without competitive bids.
• Primary point of contact for comments/hearing requests is Katherine Tople ([email protected]).
