EXEMPT NOTICE: DNR Real Estate Acquisition, Sand Ridge State Forest

The state and/or local contracting opportunity relates to a land acquisition by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) at the Sand Ridge State Forest in Mason County, Illinois. IDNR has acquired a total of 73.72 acres of land with a total value of $294,880.00. The acquired land consists of several parcels described in the attached property maps and legal descriptions. This acquisition is being made in accordance with the Illinois Procurement Code, specifically Section 30 ILCS 500/1-10 b)6), which requires public notice of real estate acquisitions. The procurement does not appear to involve any competitive bidding or contract award, but rather is an informational notice regarding the IDNR's land acquisition.

The notice does not contain any information about set-aside designations, restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, incumbent vendors or contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Additionally, there are no listed award values or budget ranges, as this appears to be a non-competitive procurement related solely to the IDNR's acquisition of the 73.72 acres of land at the Sand Ridge State Forest.
