About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is seeking bids for french fries or potato wedges through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on January 9, 2025. The procurement seeks approximately 160,000 pounds of french fries to be delivered to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with delivery requirements structured as four full truckloads (FTL) of 40,000 pounds each. The first FTL must be delivered within 45 days after receipt of order, with subsequent loads delivered 45 days apart or as scheduled by warehouse staff. Acceptable product specifications include bake-able, Instant Quick Frozen (IQF) fries processed from Grade A or B potatoes, with acceptable cuts including regular, steak, crinkled, southern style, and tater tot styles. Bidders may propose between 50% and 100% of the total requested quantity, with pricing required to be FOB destination and include all transportation and handling charges. Key dates include a clarification request deadline of January 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST and a final bid submission deadline of January 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST.
The solicitation includes specific preference provisions, with a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. The most recent historical pricing data indicates a previous purchase from LA Foods in March 2024 at $0.386 per pound. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the local preference rules provide potential advantages for Oregon-based businesses. The procurement does not specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. Bidders must be capable of meeting the strict product specifications, which exclude diced, shredded, or shoestring cut potato products. Although a precise budget range is not provided, the total procurement value can be estimated at approximately $61,760 based on the historical pricing, representing the potential total volume of 160,000 pounds of french fries.
