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 at Menard Correctional Center for the 2026 crop year. The emergency purchase involves farming use of ground at the Menard facility needed to complete the 2026 harvest, protect the state property, and cover rent associated with the acreage. The vendor selected is Michael Hasemeyer of Ellis Grove, Illinois, who was already invested in planting, tending, and raising the 2026 crops on the property. The emergency contract was executed on September 28, 2026, following the voiding of a previous farm lease contract that had been entered into in violation of the Illinois Procurement Code due to lack of competitive procurement and failure to apply appropriate exemptions.

The estimated expenditure for this emergency purchase is $100,000.00, funded through sources other than federal funds or state appropriation funds. The emergency condition cited is the need to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical state services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial state revenues. IDOC justified the vendor selection based on the vendor's pre-existing investment in crop inputs, noting that the University of Illinois Extension estimates direct input costs of approximately $240 per acre for soybeans, and that failure to allow the vendor to complete the harvest would likely result in claims for these inputs plus the value of the lost crop. While this emergency procurement did not allow for Business Enterprise Program participation consideration, IDOC committed to competitively soliciting all future farm leases and adhering to full procurement requirements. No active state contract was identified as available to meet this need.
