Summary Overview The State of Oregon, acting by and through its Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services (“DAS SPS”), on behalf of the Oregon Department of Education, (“Agency”), is issuing this Invitation to Bid (ITB) for USDA food carrier and warehouse services (“Services”).

Background:

The Agency is responsible for the administration of the USDA Food Distribution Program (“FDP”) in Oregon.

Each Recipient Agency is assigned a sponsor number and may also be assigned an RA number, should they participate in FDP. FDP assistance helps cover the costs of providing meals.

USDA Foods delivered to the contracted warehouse are the property of Agency. Communication and Reporting are required to ensure Agency meets its regulatory requirement to ensure accurate records, timely response to delivery or food quality issues, inventory management, and other oversight of the FDP. Contractor and Agency communicate frequently as needed for uninterrupted service; required reports are submitted regularly.

Scope of Work Successful Bidder will operate as the Oregon statewide USDA Foods warehouser and distributor performing but not limited to the services listed below. Bidder must be able to provide services throughout the entire state.

6. Recall and emergency management.

Overview of Services and Process Upon Contract award, the successful awarded Bidder must perform all Services required in Attachment A, Sample Contract, Exhibit A Statement of Work.

Below is an overview of the process for USDA Direct Delivery foods shipments:

1. Recipient Agencies request USDA food during the Agency ordering period.

2. Agency orders the requested food from USDA.

3. USDA purchases the food and ships it directly to Contractor’s warehouse.

4. Contractor receives and stores the food and uses the federal Web-Based-Supply-Chain-Management system (WBSCM) to process USDA inbound shipment receipts.

5. RAs use Contractor web-based inventory and ordering system to schedule delivery of the food from the Contractor to their delivery sites.

6. Contractor fulfills the requests and delivers the food to the Recipient Agency.

7. Contractor provides all federal and state reporting to Agency and cooperates with Agency oversight.

Historical Information Approximately 210 school districts and private institutions participate in the Oregon’s Food Distribution Program (“FDP”). Approximately 200 of these participants are RAs receiving USDA Foods Direct Delivery products, representing approximately 300 active delivery sites. The number of Recipient Agencies may increase or decrease during the Contract period.

During the State Fiscal Year 2025, approximately 60 types of food were distributed, amounting to approximately 210,000 cases. Of these, approximately 107,000 cases were dry foods, 13,000 cases were refrigerated foods, and 90,000 were frozen foods. Items and quantities will vary from year to year. Attachment H includes the WBSCM sales orders report for school year July 1, 2024- June 30,2025 and shows the quantities of cases per load and the types of products that the Agency orders on behalf of RAs. The FDP is subject to change in terms of volume and types of products available from USDA which could affect storage requirements and carrier capacity needed.
