The Oregon Department of Corrections is requesting bids on salad oil under ITB for delivery to institutional food service operations, with bids due August 21, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The procurement carries a combined ten percent preference: five percent for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods and an additional five percent for vendors headquartered in Oregon, applied for evaluation purposes only.

The scope calls for an estimated 3,420 cases of canola oil delivered as two full truckloads of approximately 1,140 cases and 40,000 pounds each. The first truckload must arrive within 30 days of purchase order issuance; the second, 30 days thereafter. All goods must meet USDA Commercial Item Description standards for salad oils and current FDA labeling requirements, with a minimum one-year shelf life at delivery. Oil must be supplied in non-breakable, FDA/USDA-approved commercial containers on standard four-way pallets not exceeding 2,500 pounds each. Pricing must be quoted per unit on a per-case basis for all 3,420 cases or any quantity from 50 to 100 percent of the total, with all costs including transportation, fuel surcharges, and FOB Destination delivery fully prepaid by the contractor.

The incumbent is Alpine Food, which received the previous award in January 2026 at $28.92 per 35-pound case. The contract start date is to be determined. Bids must remain firm for a minimum of 30 calendar days from closing. The clarifications or changes deadline is August 14, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST. ODOC reserves the right to award one or more contracts based on lowest responsive bids by responsible bidder and to request samples or product documentation within specified timeframes.
