The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of Pasta Rotini, with an anticipated purchase of approximately 40,000 pounds to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The solicitation requires vendors to submit pricing on a per-pound basis, with precise specifications for product quality, packaging, and labeling. Bidders must adhere to the key procurement timeline, with responses due by December 4, 2023, and the contract commencing on a date to be determined by ODOC. The evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with specific considerations including a 5% preference for Oregon-produced goods and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. Pricing must be submitted with no more than four digits past the decimal point, indicating the need for precise financial proposals.

The procurement opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises beyond the state-based preferences. The current incumbent contractor for this procurement is Back To Basics, suggesting potential continuity or competitive replacement in the upcoming contract. The contract will be funded through ODOC's internal budget, with no additional external funding sources identified. While the exact contract value is not explicitly stated, the volume of 40,000 pounds of Pasta Rotini indicates a potentially significant procurement opportunity for food service suppliers. Interested vendors should carefully review the ITB documentation to ensure full compliance with ODOC's detailed product specifications and submission requirements, as adherence to these criteria will be critical for contract award consideration.
