The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of coffee, seeking an estimated 40,000 pounds to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The ITB solicits per unit pricing from potential vendors, with prices required to include transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery charges, fully prepaid FOB Destination. Key dates for this procurement include the ITB release on September 25, 2023, a deadline for requests for clarification or changes on October 3, 2023, and a bid closing date of October 10, 2023. Bidders must submit comprehensive unit pricing, with ODOC reserving the right to award one or more contracts based on the lowest responsive bid(s) by responsible bidders. The procurement allows for evaluation across line items, groups of items, or an all-or-none approach, depending on what ODOC determines to be in its best interest.

The solicitation includes specific preference provisions, offering a 5% preference for Oregon Goods and Services and an additional 5% preference for resident Bidders headquartered in Oregon. The current incumbent for this contract is Shaver Foods, with the most recent purchase occurring in December 2022 at a rate of $1.944 per pound. While the ITB does not explicitly outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, it does demonstrate a commitment to supporting local Oregon businesses through its preferential scoring. The total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, but can be approximately calculated at $77,760 based on the previous purchase price and estimated quantity. ODOC will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, pricing, and the vendor's ability to meet the specified delivery and quality requirements for coffee procurement.
