About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) is soliciting bids for a procurement of parboiled rice, specifically seeking approximately 85,000 pounds each of brown and white parboiled rice. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires suppliers to provide Number 3 grade or better rice that is unflavored and meets all FDA/USDA standards. The procurement includes specific requirements for packaging, truck load capacity, best use by dates, and origin of the rice (domestic or imported). Key procurement dates include the ITB release on September 3, 2024, a clarification request deadline of September 10, 2024, and a bid closing date of September 17, 2024. ODOC will evaluate and award contracts based on the lowest responsive and responsible bids, with the potential to award to one or more vendors across line items or the entire requirement. Bidders must provide comprehensive details about their rice product, delivery capabilities, and comply with all specified technical and logistical requirements.
The solicitation offers potential bidding advantages, including a 5% preference for Oregon-based goods and services and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. Delivery terms are structured as FOB destination, with transportation and handling charges to be paid by the contractor. ODOC will accept either the total quantity specified in the purchase order or increments of a full truck load, whichever is less. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the volume of rice (170,000 pounds total) suggests a substantial procurement contract. The ITB does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises beyond the state-based preferences. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to meet rigorous product specifications, delivery requirements, and regulatory standards for food products used in correctional facilities.
