The Illinois Department of Corrections awarded a competitive sealed bid contract to Venus Supplies & Construction (Vendor ID V00038537) for the provision of laundry textiles, supplies, and Velcro-type tape products. The contract was executed on April 20, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, representing a performance period of approximately 2.5 months. The total contract value is $648. The contracting organization is the Pontiac Correctional Center, a state correctional facility serving as the primary place of performance.

This procurement was conducted through an open market competitive sealed bidding process in accordance with Illinois state procurement regulations. The supplies procured fall under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) commodity codes 510 (Laundry Textiles and Supplies) and 59069 (Tape, Velcro Type), indicating the award covers institutional laundry operations and fastening materials. The relatively modest contract value and short performance window suggest this represents a routine supply replenishment for facility operations at Pontiac Correctional Center.
