About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of Rice, Brown Parboiled, targeting approximately 85,000 pounds to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The ITB specifies detailed requirements for the rice product, including mandatory characteristics such as being 100% rice, parboiled, number 3 grade or better, and completely unflavored. Bidders must provide per unit pricing and indicate whether their product meets Oregon goods and services preferences. The bid is scheduled to close on December 30, 2022, at 9:00 AM PST, with ODOC planning to award one or more contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, potentially evaluating bids by line item, groups of items, or all items collectively. Bidders have the option to offer a "will call" delivery method, allowing ODOC to pick up goods directly from the vendor's location. The specific contract start date remains to be determined.
While the ITB does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it emphasizes the importance of responsiveness and responsibility in bid submissions. The procurement appears open to various vendors capable of meeting the strict product specifications. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing contractual relationships. The document does not specify a precise budget range, though the volume of 85,000 pounds suggests a significant procurement value. Vendors will need to carefully review the detailed specifications and ensure their rice product fully complies with ODOC's requirements, particularly regarding product grade, processing method, and purity. The ability to offer competitive pricing and potentially leverage Oregon goods and services preferences could provide a competitive advantage in the bidding process.
