The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice is reporting exempt contracts for April and May 2026, with the report filing due July 31, 2026. All three contracts are classified as "Purchase of Care" services under Section 1-10(b)(3) of 30 ILCS 500, which exempts them from competitive bidding requirements under the Illinois Procurement Code.

One Hope United holds an amended contract for residential transitional living services designated exclusively for IDJJ youth at the Champaign Hope Home, valued at $8,804,610, running from August 29, 2023 through August 31, 2028. The amendment represents an increase of $2,304,610 over the original term, reflecting expanded service capacity.

Resilience Partners provides trauma-informed, skill-based instruction in creative writing, audio and music production, and visual arts services under a contract valued at $122,833, with a term from May 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027.

William Steaman covers educational and training services in construction trades, valued at $170,000, scheduled from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028.

The exemption framework applies nineteen categories of exempt procurement across state agencies, including assistive technology accommodations, medical cannabis program implementation, and state fair performances, among others. This filing documents IDJJ's use of the care-services exemption rather than soliciting new vendor competition.
