About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is seeking bids for parboiled rice through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for delivery to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The procurement involves two specific line items: 85,000 pounds of parboiled brown rice and 170,000 pounds of parboiled white rice, to be delivered in multiple full truckload shipments. Bidders must provide detailed product specifications, including grade requirements, packaging, labeling, and precise delivery terms. The ITB requires comprehensive product information such as unit pricing, product identification, and country of origin. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness and responsibility, with ODOC planning to award one or more contracts to the lowest qualifying bidder(s). The bid submission deadline is April 9, 2024, and bidders must adhere to strict specifications outlined in the solicitation document.
The procurement includes two specific preference provisions: a 5% preference for Oregon-produced goods and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the preferences demonstrate a commitment to supporting local businesses. The contract will be structured to allow flexibility in awarding to one or more vendors based on line item pricing and overall responsiveness. Though specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the total estimated rice procurement volume suggests a substantial contract value spanning multiple truckload deliveries. Prospective bidders must demonstrate the ability to meet precise product specifications, packaging requirements, and delivery logistics to be considered for contract award by ODOC.
