IDNR utilizes agricultural leases as a tool to
support wildlife populations and recreational opportunities at
sites owned or managed by the agency. The leases developed under
this program will promote ecologically sound agricultural
practices to improve soil health, minimize soil erosion, improve
water quality, and reduce chemical impacts to benefit wildlife
populations and their habitats.
IDNR sites with leases open for bid will be publicly announced
on BidBuy, the State of Illinois’ procurement site. A
non-mandatory vendor conference will be conducted for each open
lease with details included in the public notice.
Currently, all bidders must register with BidBuy to be eligible
to enter a contract with the state. Go online to register. When
asked for an NIGP code, enter 944-00 (Farming and Ranching) and
944-48 (Hay Farming). Other codes are 944-34 (Corn Farming),
944-76 (Soybean Farming), 944-38 (Crop Farming NEC and Grain
Farming NEC).
Once registered in BidBuy, prospective bidders will be notified
by email when any agricultural lease bid openings are posted.
Prospective bidders will need to download and print the
necessary forms from the BidBuy website prior to the vendor
conference.
In accordance with state and federal law, the State of Illinois
does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual
orientation or any other protected category in employment,
contracts, or any other activity.

agricultural lease opportunities or use the contact information
