AI Contract Overview
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) has issued a general notice titled "Local Food, Farms, and Jobs Act Reporting DHS 2024" (Solicitation Number 26-444DHS-PROCU-B-50250) to comply with state legislation 30 ILCS 595/, which mandates annual reporting on the procurement of local farm and food products by state agencies. This notice, posted on December 1, 2025, with a response deadline of December 22, 2025, outlines IDHS’s efforts during the calendar year 2024 to achieve a statutory goal of sourcing at least 20% of its food purchases from local farms. The focus is on transparency and documenting the volume and value of locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and other food products acquired to supply nutritious meals in IDHS facilities statewide. The scope is administrative and reporting-centric, emphasizing compliance with the local sourcing mandate rather than direct procurement or competitive contracting. No contract pricing, evaluation criteria, or federal acquisition clauses are involved; this is a non-competitive solicitation limited to reporting requirements under Illinois law. The period of performance extends from January 1 through December 31, 2024, with the place of performance being Illinois. The notice does not specify delivery terms, packaging, or inspection locations but designates the Illinois Department of Human Services as the responsible entity for compliance and reporting. Contact for inquiries is the DHS Procurement Office, led by Procurement Officer Jean Sandstrom. The solicitation reflects an effort to support the local agriculture economy while ensuring state agency purchasing aligns with legislative goals for local food procurement, serving as an administrative mechanism rather than a traditional procurement or service contract.
