About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of approximately 42,500 pounds of Black Beans, to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. This solicitation seeks vendors capable of supplying U.S. No. 2 grade or better black beans, which must be triple-cleaned and maintain a minimum one-year shelf life from the Best Use By Date. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive product specifications, including detailed information about case weights, packaging, and compliance with FDA/USDA regulations. The bid was released on March 21, 2025, with a closing date of April 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, and vendors may submit bids for 50% to 100% of the requested quantity. Delivery expectations include a full truck load within 30 days of order or as scheduled by warehouse staff, with specific receiving requirements at the ODOC distribution center. The historical purchase price was $0.55 per pound in 50-pound bags, previously awarded to Farmer Bean, and the contract start date remains to be determined.
The ITB includes notable preferences for Oregon-based businesses, specifically a 5% preference for Oregon Goods and Services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially providing up to a 10% total preference. While no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. The solicitation does not specify a precise award value, but based on the historical pricing of $0.55 per pound and the total estimated quantity of 42,500 pounds, the potential contract value could approximate $23,375. Bidders must demonstrate capability to meet stringent quality standards, including product grade, cleanliness, shelf life, and regulatory compliance. The procurement process emphasizes local economic considerations through the implemented preference system while maintaining a competitive bidding environment for black bean suppliers.
