About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of Cereal, Farina under Opportunity # S-29100-00014600. The solicitation seeks to purchase an estimated 40,000 pounds of Type I - Enriched Farina, specifically quick-cooking and unflavored. Bidders are required to provide detailed pricing, product information, and certification of compliance with regulatory standards. The ITB allows for bidding on 50-100% of the total quantity, with delivery scheduled within 45 days of order receipt or as coordinated with warehouse staff. Evaluation criteria include an Oregon goods preference (5% evaluation preference) and resident bidder preference, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The bid closing date is August 25, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, with delivery FOB destination to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. Strict packaging, labeling, and quality requirements mandate that goods must have a minimum of one year shelf life remaining and meet FDA/USDA food safety regulations.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does provide a preference for Oregon-based goods and services. The historical pricing from the previous purchase in October 2024 was $0.385 per pound, with the contract previously awarded to Shaver Foods. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the estimated quantity of 40,000 pounds provides a baseline for potential contract value. The procurement allows for flexible bidding, permitting vendors to bid on partial or full quantities of the required Farina. Delivery will be coordinated with ODOC warehouse staff, suggesting potential flexibility in the delivery schedule. The contract appears to be structured to support local Oregon vendors through the evaluation preference, potentially giving a competitive advantage to local suppliers. The comprehensive requirements ensure that the selected vendor can meet the strict quality and regulatory standards required by the ODOC.
