About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is issuing an Invitation to Bid for approximately 450 tons of current-year, quality, weed-free alfalfa hay for the Elkhorn Wildlife Area, with bids due August 31, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time and an Intent to Award notification anticipated for September 7, 2026. This is an intermediate procurement under OAR 125-047-0270; the agency will not accept protests.
ODFW prefers second-crop alfalfa but will accept first and third-crop alternatives priced separately. All hay must be delivered in 3×4 bales weighing up to 1,500 pounds with no bales exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in length. Quality specifications include moisture content below 16 percent, less than 5 percent grass content, and a minimum 40/60 leaf-to-stem ratio. All hay must be available for pickup or delivery by September 30, 2026.
Bidders must be located within 150 miles of the Elkhorn Wildlife Area. Those within 30 miles of North Powder, Oregon will have their hay picked up by ODFW with loading costs included in the bid; bidders further away must provide delivery FOB North Powder with freight costs included in the per-ton price. Oregon-based bidders receive a 10 percent preference on bid calculations.
Bidders must submit a Bid Cover Sheet, Bid Submittal Form, COBID Certification and Outreach Plan, and a Responsibility Inquiry. All contracts require compliance with federal provisions including debarment, non-discrimination, whistleblower protections, equal employment opportunity, environmental standards, and recovered materials procurement. The bid firm offer period is 180 calendar days from opening. ODFW reserves the right to make multiple awards and will rank hay based on absence of rain after cutting, weed-free status, and optimal leaf-to-stem ratios. The procurement is funded entirely with federal funds.
