SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 SUMMARY OVERVIEW

The State of Oregon, acting by and through the Department of Fish and Wildlife, (“Agency” or “ODFW”), is issuing this Invitation to Bid (ITB) to establish one or more Contracts for 2026, quality, weed-free Alfalfa Hay. ODFW prefers Second Crop Alfalfa but will be accepting alternate pricing for First and Third Crop Alfalfa. Hay is for feeding winter Elk in Baker and Union Counties and will be distributed from ten feeding sites in both counties.

ORS 496.146(9) authorizes the State Fish and Wildlife Commission (“Commission”) to establish and develop wildlife management and refuge areas. ORS 496.146(11) authorizes the Commission to enter into contracts with any person or governmental agency for the development and encouragement of wildlife research and management programs and projects. Acting under the Commission’s direction and in accordance with OAR 635-300-0001 through 635-300-0015, ODFW develops and maintains the Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program.

The goals and objectives of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program are:

(1) To mitigate the loss of traditional big game winter range areas along the north, west and south portions of the Powder River Valley through habitat management and supplemental feeding program.

(2) To provide supplemental and subsistence feed for wintering elk and deer to alleviate damage to private lands.

(3) To provide habitat for big game animals and the other wildlife indigenous to the area.

(4) To provide hunting and other wildlife-oriented recreation opportunities for the general public.

To meet the requirements of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area Program described above, the Agency needs to procure large amounts of feed.

This purchase is funded with 100% Federal funds. Contract(s) resulting from this ITB incorporate the terms and conditions set forth in the ITB, including without limitation the federal contract provisions for non-federal entity contracts under federal awards set forth in Attachment A.

Due to the large quantity of Alfalfa Hay being purchased, ODFW reserves the right to make multiple awards. Alfalfa Hay shall be available for pick up or be delivered on or before September 30, 2026.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK/STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS

Alfalfa hay shall be the current year, quality, weed free (not certified), second crop or better cutting, in 3 x 4 bales, no bales measuring over 8’6” in length, and weighing up to 1,500 pounds. If supply is not available, ODFW is accepting alternate pricing on first and third cutting alfalfa. Alfalfa must be in stacks at Bidder’s site. ODFW is requesting bids on an expected total of 450 tons.

Bids will be accepted for alfalfa in fifty (50) ton lots. Single or multiple lots may be bid and purchased from a single successful Bidder.

DAS Procurement Services, Version 1.0 – February 20, 2019 Page 4 of 28

After the Bid Closing Date, Bidders will be contacted, and hay being offered will be inspected by ODFW staff. Bid(s) will be awarded after hay is inspected. Alfalfa will be ranked based on the following criteria:

• No rain after cutting.

• Bale moisture content less than 16%, measured in the stack.

• Weed free (not certified).

• Less than 5% grass. Hay with more than 5% grass will be rejected.

• Minimum 40/60 leaf to stem ratio; prefer 60/40 leaf to stem ratio.

• No bales measuring over 8’ 6” in length.

ODFW may consider 3x4, first and third cutting alfalfa if needed.

Bids will only be accepted from bidders growing the hay within 150 miles of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area.

Bids received with pick up locations within thirty (30) miles of North Powder, Oregon, will be picked up by ODFW, with Bidder loading alfalfa onto ODFW trailer. Bid price will include bale loading.

All bids received from locations further than thirty (30) miles from North Powder, Oregon, shall include delivery FOB North Powder, Oregon. FOB Bids shall include any “Freight Added” charges in the per ton bid price. Deliveries shall be coordinated with staff at the Elkhorn Wildlife Area and be delivered to:
