About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the purchase of high-quality, weed-free Alfalfa Hay for winter elk feeding operations in Baker and Union Counties. The procurement seeks to establish one or more contracts for hay delivery, with a strong preference for Second Crop Alfalfa, though the department will also consider First and Third Crop Alfalfa with alternate pricing. The hay will be distributed across ten feeding sites in these two counties, supporting wildlife management efforts. The solicitation was posted on August 7, 2025, with bid submissions due by August 28, 2025. Vendors must provide hay that meets specific quality standards, including being weed-free and suitable for elk nutrition. Evaluation criteria are likely to focus on hay quality, crop type, pricing, and ability to meet the distribution requirements across the specified feeding sites.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be open to qualified hay producers who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. While the exact budget range is not specified, the procurement suggests a substantial volume of hay will be needed to support winter feeding operations across multiple county locations. The ITB indicates potential for multiple contract awards, which suggests flexibility in vendor selection and the possibility of splitting the procurement among several suppliers. Interested vendors should carefully review the attached ITB document (S-63500-00013909 ITB~1.pdf) for comprehensive details on submission requirements, technical specifications, and any additional qualifications or conditions for participation in this state and local contract opportunity.
