Corn Fertilizer

The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking a procurement opportunity for corn fertilizer to be delivered to the Sauvie Island Wildlife area in Multnomah County. The specific solicitation is for 18 tons of corn fertilizer with a 26-12-10-4 composition, to be delivered in two distinct configurations: one 5-ton tote on a tandem axle trailer, and the remaining 13 tons to be delivered by a tender upon wildlife area staff request. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) requires precise equipment specifications, including a bumper pull trailer with a 2 5/16" ball hitch and a rain-proof tote in good condition. Bids must be submitted by 2:00 PM on May 13, 2022, through email, mail, or fax, with delivery of the fertilizer to be completed no later than May 17, 2022. Vendors are expected to provide a total cost inclusive of delivery and indicate their certification status in Oregon, with ODFW reserving the right to evaluate alternate bids against the specified product requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While vendors are asked to indicate their Oregon certification status, no clear preferential treatment is detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears open to standard commercial suppliers capable of meeting the technical specifications for corn fertilizer and delivery requirements. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves 18 tons of fertilizer, suggesting a moderate-scale agricultural supply contract. The Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates comprehensive legal provisions governing the contract, including compliance requirements related to worker compensation, safety standards, and applicable labor laws. Potential bidders should carefully review the attached documentation, particularly the Standard Terms and Conditions, to ensure full understanding of the contractual obligations and requirements associated with this ODFW fertilizer procurement opportunity.
