FEED REQUIREMENTS BY CENTER~8.docx

This document is a feed requirements attachment for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources outlining specifications for three wildlife propagation centers. The state operates facilities at the J.C. Helfrich Wildlife Propagation Center in Lincoln, the Des Plaines Wildlife Propagation Center in Wilmington, and the Mt. Vernon Wildlife Propagation Center in Mt. Vernon. Feed requirements vary by location and season, with the Helfrich Center requiring 170 tons of maintenance feed delivered May through November and 72 tons of breeder feed delivered November through May. The Des Plaines Center requires 55 tons of starter feed (May 10 to July 15), 95 tons of grower feed (June 15 to September 1), and 190 tons of maintenance feed (August 15 to December 10). The Mt. Vernon Center requires 9 tons of starter feed in late April, 135 tons of grower feed from late April through August, and 140 tons of maintenance feed from September through early November. All three locations specify an average purchase size of 24 tons per load delivery.

The document provides seasonal delivery schedules and total annual tonnage requirements by feed type and location but does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or other contract administration details. The requirements indicate specialized animal nutrition products tailored to different production stages across the three state-operated facilities.
