Purchase and delivery of 18 tons of corn fertilizer to Sauvie Island Wildlife Area

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is soliciting quotes through an intermediate procurement for the purchase and delivery of 18 tons of corn fertilizer to Sauvie Island Wildlife Area, as governed by Oregon Administrative Rule 125-047-0270. The specific fertilizer blend required is a 26-12-10-4 formulation containing 26% total nitrogen, 12% available phosphate, 10% soluble potash, and 4% sulfur, to be delivered to the wildlife area shop located at 29005 NW Reeder Rd, Portland, Oregon 97231. The delivery schedule requires an initial 5-ton tote on the first delivery, with the remaining 13 tons to be delivered by tender when called by wildlife area staff, with all materials to arrive on or before June 15, 2026. The 5-ton tote must be transported on a tandem axle, bumper pull trailer with a 2 5/16" ball hitch (not a goose neck configuration) and must be in good condition with rain-proof covering, reliable auger, auger motor, chute, and drop-down tube equipment in proper working condition; the tote and trailer may remain on the wildlife area for up to one month due to weather and field conditions. Bids must be submitted by May 1, 2026 at 1:00 PM via OregonBuys or email to ODFW.Bids@ODFW.oregon.gov, and all pricing must be held firm for 30 days from bid submission. Bidders are required to register in OregonBuys at no cost prior to submission and must complete the Mandatory Bid Proposal Form with separate line items for fertilizer and delivery/freight charges, providing their Federal ID number, COBID certification if applicable, and authorized signature. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will not accept protests on this intermediate procurement, and the resulting award will be structured as a Purchase Order incorporating both state and federal terms and conditions.

No set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations eligible to respond are specified in the solicitation documents. While COBID (Certification for Disadvantaged Business, Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, and Emerging Small Business) certification is noted as applicable if the bidder holds such certification, no mandatory set-aside or preference for disadvantaged enterprises is indicated. Valley Ag LLC has been identified as the intent-to-award recipient as of May 12, 2026, following the evaluation of all bids received and determination that the vendor was responsive and responsible; the bid tabulation has been made available on OregonBuys for public review. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The resulting Purchase Order will include federal compliance requirements applicable to the procurement, including debarment and suspension verification through the System for Award Management (SAM) and applicable federal provisions for contracts funded through federal grants. Payment is expected to be made within 30 days following delivery or invoice receipt, whichever is later, with the contractor responsible for all transportation costs on an F.O.B. destination basis and required to provide full manufacturer warranties on all goods.
