About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for canned fruit products, specifically seeking 2,856 cases of applesauce and 2,856 cases of canned pears. The procurement allows for full truck load (FTL) deliveries estimated at 952 cases (40,000 pounds) per load. Bidders must comply with FDA/USDA food safety regulations, meet specific packaging and labeling requirements, and provide products with a minimum one-year shelf life. The ITB was released on July 18, 2025, with bid clarification requests due by July 25, 2025, and final bids due by August 1, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST. Delivery of goods is expected within 45 days after receipt of order, with two full truck loads to be scheduled by ODOC warehouse staff. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with ODOC reserving the right to award partial quantities or reject all bids. Evaluation criteria include a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially providing up to a 10% evaluation preference.
Historical pricing indicates previous purchases of applesauce at $19.65 per case (6/#10 cans) from Highland Wholesale in May 2025, and canned pears at $25.90 per case (6/#10 cans) from Robbins Sales in June 2025. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement does include preferences for Oregon-based businesses. The solicitation appears open to various vendors capable of meeting the stringent food safety and packaging requirements. The total estimated procurement value suggests a potential contract worth approximately $140,000 to $160,000, depending on final pricing and quantities. ODOC will conduct the procurement through Marion County's jurisdictional process, with the final award contingent on meeting all specified technical and compliance requirements. Interested bidders should carefully review the full ITB documentation to ensure complete alignment with ODOC's specifications and procurement guidelines.
