About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for procuring cheese products, specifically requesting 80,000 pounds each of shredded blend cheese and low sodium sliced cheese. The procurement targets delivery to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with specific product requirements including a shredded blend containing a minimum of 40% mozzarella cheese and low sodium sliced cheese (American, Swiss, or cheddar) with sodium content not exceeding 130mg per slice. Bidders must submit proposals by January 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, with a clarification request deadline of January 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST. The delivery specifications mandate two full truckloads of approximately 40,000 pounds each, with the first delivery within 45 days after order receipt and subsequent deliveries scheduled 30 days apart or as coordinated with warehouse staff. The procurement will be conducted with FOB destination terms, requiring contractors to cover all transportation and handling charges.
The ITB includes specific preferences for Oregon-based businesses, offering a 5% price preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in the state. Recent purchase pricing provides context for bidders, with the most recent shredded blend cheese purchased at $1.42 per pound from LA Foods and low sodium sliced cheese at $1.898 per pound from Good Source. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are outlined, the local preference provisions suggest a potential advantage for Oregon-based vendors. The procurement appears targeted at food service suppliers capable of meeting large-volume institutional food requirements, with an estimated total award value approaching $226,640 based on current pricing (80,000 pounds × $1.42 for shredded blend and 80,000 pounds × $1.898 for low sodium sliced cheese). Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate product quality, meet strict nutritional specifications, and provide reliable large-volume delivery capabilities to the state corrections system.
