_Pre-Bid_Conference_Attendance_List_.jpg

This is a Pre-Bid Conference Attendance List related to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Oregon Department of Corrections for turkey products in Marion County. The ITB solicits bids for cooked turkey ends and pieces and sliced irregular/regular turkey breast, with an estimated quantity of 40,000 pounds of each product type. Delivery is required to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon within 30 days of contract award. The bid submission deadline was December 6, 2021, at 9:00 AM (PST). The solicitation includes a pre-bid conference for potential bidders to clarify specifications and ask questions before preparing their proposals.

ODOC will award one or more contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) based on total bid price. A 5% preference is available for bidders whose turkey products are fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon or whose company is headquartered in the state. Bidders must provide unit pricing and nutritional fact labels and adhere to strict product specifications including grade, processing, packaging, and labeling requirements. The procurement explicitly restricts imported goods stored overseas for more than one month and products containing wheat-based ingredients. No specific contract value is stated; however, the procurement of 80,000 pounds of turkey products suggests a significant procurement budget. The competitive bidding process is designed to secure the most economically advantageous offer while maintaining strict quality and sourcing standards.
