This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) document issued by the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division for the procurement of pork bacon. The solicitation seeks 40,000 pounds of pork bacon to be delivered to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. Bidders must submit detailed product information including brand, manufacturer, product number, nutritional facts, and complete ingredient lists. Electronic submissions are required via email or the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) system, with a deadline of October 2, 2023, at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The evaluation process may include requesting product samples from bidders to verify specifications and quality. Award will be made to the lowest bidder per line item, group of items, or all items based on responsiveness and responsibility criteria. The contract start date and term details remain to be determined.

Pricing must be submitted in decimal format to four digits past the decimal point and must include all associated costs such as transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery charges. The procurement includes Oregon-specific business preferences, offering a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in the state. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation, and no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly outlined. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement's scale of 40,000 pounds suggests a significant potential contract value. The solicitation remains open to a wide range of qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery requirements established by ODOC.
