About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for parboiled rice varieties, specifically seeking to procure brown and white parboiled rice. The procurement targets an estimated 120,000 pounds of each rice variety, requiring three full truckloads per type with each truckload estimated at 42,500 pounds. Bidders must provide rice meeting Number 3 Grade or better as described in USDA Standards, with long or medium grain, and must be unflavored. Delivery requirements mandate that after receiving an order, one full truckload must be delivered within 45 days, with subsequent truckloads delivered 45 days apart or as scheduled by warehouse staff. The pricing must be FOB destination, with all transportation and handling charges paid by the contractor, and each delivery must have a minimum one-year shelf life remaining. Key procurement dates include a deadline for requesting clarifications by January 28, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, and a bid closing date of February 4, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST.
The ITB includes preferential treatment for Oregon-based businesses, with a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. The maximum case weight is specified at 50 pounds, and the current incumbent contractor is Alpine Foods, who last provided rice in September 2024 at prices of $0.6054 per pound for brown parboiled rice and $0.5854 per pound for white parboiled rice. While specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the preference for Oregon-based businesses suggests a potential advantage for local vendors. The historical pricing provides insight into potential budget expectations, with the previous contract indicating approximate pricing ranges. Interested bidders should carefully review the full ITB documentation to ensure complete compliance with all specifications and requirements for this rice procurement opportunity.
