About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is soliciting bids for approximately 36,000 pounds of unsweetened cereal through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on October 9, 2025, with proposals due by October 23, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST. The procurement seeks cereal products compliant with USDA commercial item description A-A-20000E, specifically including wheat, corn, rice, oat, and combination grain types, with explicit prohibitions on cornflakes and plain bran cereals. Bidders must provide cereal with a minimum six-month remaining shelf life and meet FDA/USDA compliance standards, with deliveries scheduled within 45 days after order receipt or as coordinated with warehouse staff. Evaluation criteria will focus on pricing per pound, with vendors able to bid on 50-100% of the total requested quantity. The cereal must be delivered to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, and will be subject to detailed product verification, potentially including sample requests and documentation reviews.
The solicitation includes a potential 5% preference for Oregon-based goods and services or resident bidders headquartered in the state, which may provide a competitive advantage for local vendors. The procurement is conducted under the authority of ORS 421.438 and OAR 291-164-0120, with historical pricing data indicating the previous purchase in April 2024 was at $1.09 per pound from Robbins Sales. Specific packaging and labeling requirements must be met, and vendors will need to demonstrate full compliance with technical specifications. While a precise award value is not explicitly stated, the volume of 36,000 pounds suggests a significant procurement opportunity. The ITB allows for flexible bidding approaches, enabling vendors to propose partial or full quantities of the required cereal, which may attract diverse supplier participation and potentially competitive pricing structures.
