About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of Bran Flakes Cereal, targeting approximately 36,000 pounds of product for delivery. The solicitation, released on July 17, 2025, with a bid closing date of July 31, 2025 at 9:00 AM PST, requires bidders to submit electronic proposals via email to docfoodbuy@doc.oregon.gov. Specific product requirements include a minimum of 4 grams of fiber per 1-ounce serving, compliance with USDA commercial item description standards, and adherence to FDA and USDA regulations. Evaluation criteria encompass product quality, shelf life (minimum one year remaining), and pricing, with bids to be assessed on a per-unit basis. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with ODOC reserving the right to award partial quantities or reject all bids. Historical pricing was $0.8796 per pound as of July 2024, with an estimated full truck load (FTL) delivery within 45 days after order receipt.
The solicitation includes a five percent preference for Oregon-based goods and services, potentially advantaging local vendors. Bidders must provide comprehensive product information, including detailed nutritional facts, ingredient lists, and packaging specifications. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the previous contract was awarded to JNS Foods. The procurement appears to be an open competition with no strict limitations on vendor type, though compliance with detailed product specifications is crucial. The estimated total contract value can be calculated at approximately $31,656 (36,000 pounds × $0.8796 per pound), though this is based on historical pricing and may fluctuate. The successful vendor will need to meet stringent quality control standards, demonstrate ability to fulfill the full truck load delivery requirement, and provide packaging that meets ODOC's specific institutional procurement needs.
