This is an Intent to Award revision document for the Oregon Child Nutrition Coalition's RFP for USDA Commodity Diversion Processing, dated January 16, 2026. The document specifies revised chicken product specifications and pricing for the 2026-28 school year contract, which covers processing services for approximately 180,000 students across 90 Oregon school districts. The revision provides detailed product listings from Tyson and ProView manufacturers, including breaded breakfast patties, popcorn chicken, drumsticks, chicken breast fillets, and rotisserie pulled chicken, among other chicken products. The original RFP included proposal submission deadlines of December 18, 2025, with an intent to award notification scheduled for January 8, 2026, and a protest period ending January 16, 2026. The contract covers the 2026-27 school year with an option for renewal through 2027-28.

The pricing terms reflected in this revision show per-portion costs ranging from $0.28 to $1.70 for various chicken products, with vendors able to submit proposals under three pricing models: Cash Rebate, Fee for Service, and Net Off Invoice, with no mandatory volume commitments. Manufacturers must meet specific qualifications, including a National Processing Agreement with USDA and the Oregon Department of Education, compliance with Buy American requirements (51% or more U.S. processing), and minimum general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 aggregate plus workers' compensation coverage. Processors are required to receive at least one full truckload of diverted product from the entire state or a combined truckload to participate. Shipping fees are calculated to zip code 97070. The Rotisserie Pulled Chicken product is noted as unavailable in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
