About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of cheese products, specifically seeking approximately 160,000 pounds of Cheese, Shredded Blend and 40,000 pounds of Cheese, Low Sodium Sliced. The ITB, posted on May 15, 2024, has a bid closing date of May 29, 2024, with an electronic bid opening scheduled for the same day. Potential vendors must provide detailed product specifications, including precise requirements for cheese types, sodium content, packaging, and labeling. Bidders are required to submit pricing per unit and indicate eligibility for either the 5% preference for Oregon Goods and Services or the 5% preference for resident Bidders headquartered in Oregon. The procurement will involve a comprehensive evaluation process where ODOC will award one or more contracts based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid(s), which may be assessed per line item, group of items, or across all items. Key deliverables include meeting strict product specifications, adhering to packaging and labeling standards, and complying with delivery requirements.
The solicitation appears to be open to various vendors, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the provided documentation. ODOC will conduct evaluations based on responsiveness, responsibility, and pricing, with potential for multiple contract awards. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement volume suggests a significant purchasing commitment for cheese products. The contract start date remains to be determined, indicating flexibility in implementation. Vendors must be prepared to meet rigorous inspection and rejection procedures, provide appropriate warranties, and comply with standard contract terms and conditions. The procurement emphasizes local economic considerations through the 5% preference mechanisms for Oregon-based goods and businesses, potentially providing a competitive advantage to local suppliers. Interested bidders should carefully review the ITB document to ensure full compliance with all specifications and requirements.
