About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for procuring approximately 42,500 pounds of brown parboiled rice, which represents one full truckload. The procurement specifically requires Number 3 grade or better rice that is unflavored and compliant with FDA/USDA regulations. Bidders must submit detailed pricing information with no more than four digits past the decimal point and clearly identify the product brand, manufacturer, and product number. The ITB requires vendors to potentially provide additional product information within 24 hours of a request, with bids due by January 23, 2024, at 9:00 AM PST. ODOC will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria including price, product specifications, and compliance with bidding requirements. Delivery will be FOB destination, with all transportation and handling charges paid by the contractor, and ODOC retains discretion over delivery method.
The procurement includes two notable preference provisions: a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. These preferences may provide a competitive advantage to local vendors. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the bidding process appears open to various vendors meeting the technical specifications. The contract start date remains flexible and will be determined after bid evaluation. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves a full truckload of rice, suggesting a substantial but not necessarily high-value contract. The solicitation does not reference incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure, presenting a relatively straightforward procurement opportunity for rice suppliers capable of meeting ODOC's precise product specifications.
