About this file

This is an Emergency Purchase Statement filed by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) with the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services regarding a farm lease on Dixon Correctional Center grounds. The emergency purchase authorizes farming use of approximately 102.68 acres for the 2026 crop year to complete harvest operations, protect state property, and satisfy rent obligations associated with the acreage. The vendor, Kevin Humphrey of Polo, Illinois, was selected based on his prior investment in planting, tending, and cultivating the 2026 crops under a farm lease contract that was subsequently voided by the Chief Procurement Officer due to violations of the Illinois Procurement Code. The estimated contract award date is September 28, 2026, with the emergency purchase authorization dated September 30, 2026.

The total estimated expenditure for this emergency purchase is $100,000.00, classified as other funding sources. The emergency procurement was undertaken to prevent serious disruption to state services and protect state revenue following the void of an improperly executed farm lease contract. IDOC determined that competitive procurement of alternative vendors was not practicable due to the vendor's existing substantial investment in crop inputs, estimated at approximately $56,474 for corn or $24,643 for soybeans based on University of Illinois Extension data. The department acknowledged that Business Enterprise Program participation and competitive solicitation requirements were not met under these emergency circumstances but committed to following standard procurement procedures for future farm leases. The emergency purchase was authorized by Sandy E. Robinson II, Sourcing Liaison, on September 30, 2026.

TextField2: IDOC needs to execute a farm lease to protect State revenue and State property on the Dixon CC ground for the 2026 crop year.
TextField4: IDOC entered into a farm lease contract in violation of the Procurement Code in that no competitive procurement was published and no exception was applied to exempt the solicitation from the Procurement Code. Therefore, the farm lease contract was voided by the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services. The emergency contract will allow for completion of the 2026 crop year services.
ExplanationForSelectingVendor: The vendor was selected as they planted in reliance on a farm lease executed in violation of the Procurement Code. The University of Illinois Extension lists direct input costs of about $550 per acre for corn and $240 per acre for soybeans. On 102.68 acres, that comes to about $56,474 for corn or $24,643 for soybeans. If the lessee cannot harvest, the Department expects a claim for those inputs and for the value of the lost crop.
ExplanationSuppliesServices: Farming use of the ground needed to complete the 2026 harvest, protection the property, and payment of the 2026 rent associated with the acreage.
TextField3: The circumstances that led to the need for the emergency contract did not allow for consideration of alternative vendors as the emergency vendor was already invested in the planting, tending and raising of the 2026 crops.
TextField1: The circumstances that led to the need for the emergency contract did not allow for consideration of BEP participation but future farm leases undertaken on behalf of IDOC will be competitively solicited and all procurement requirements followed.
