About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Rice Brown Parboiled, seeking to procure 85,000 pounds of rice to be delivered in two full truck loads. Each truck load is estimated at 42,500 pounds, with the first delivery required within 45 days after order receipt and subsequent deliveries scheduled 45 days thereafter or as coordinated with warehouse staff. The rice must meet stringent specifications, including being 100% parboiled, Number 3 Grade or better, long or medium grain, and unflavored. All products must comply with FDA/USDA regulations, maintain a minimum one-year shelf life, and adhere to specific packaging and labeling standards. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive product details such as case weights, packaging types, and best-use-by dates. The solicitation was released on October 14, 2025, with bids due by October 28, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with ODOC reserving the right to award partial quantities or reject all bids.
The ITB includes preferential treatment for Oregon-based businesses, offering a 5% preference for Oregon Goods and Services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially totaling a 10% preference. The previous contract for this rice procurement was awarded to Black Hive Corporation in February 2025, with historical pricing at $0.575 per pound. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the detailed product specifications. The historical pricing and procurement volume suggest a contract value approximating $48,750 (85,000 pounds at $0.575 per pound), though actual award amounts may vary based on current market conditions and bidder proposals. ODOC maintains flexibility in the procurement process, indicating a comprehensive approach to securing the required rice supplies for their institutional needs.
