About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Dill Sliced Pickles, seeking approximately 864 cases with an estimated full truck load of 40,000 pounds. The procurement requires detailed product specifications, including Grade A or B pickles with a minimum slice thickness of 1/8 inch, specific packaging details, and a clear Best Use By Date. Bidders can propose quantities ranging from 50% to 100% of the total requested amount, with delivery expected within 30 days after order receipt. Key procurement dates include a bid clarification request deadline of July 28, 2025, and a final bid closing on August 4, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with evaluation criteria focusing on product specifications, compliance with FDA/USDA regulations, HACCP systems, and Country of Origin Labeling requirements.
The solicitation includes a potential 5% preference for Oregon-based goods and resident bidders, providing a slight competitive advantage to local vendors. Historical pricing for this product was $23.33 per 5-gallon pail, with the previous contract awarded to Shaver Foods in October 2024. The procurement will be funded through ODOC's current biennial appropriation, allowing flexibility in order quantities based on budgetary considerations. Bidders must demonstrate comprehensive compliance with extensive packaging and food safety regulations, including detailed documentation of product origin, quality, and manufacturing processes. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid allows for competitive participation from various vendors who can meet the stringent technical and quality specifications outlined in the ITB.
