About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for approximately 80,000 pounds of parboiled white rice, specifically requesting Number 3 Grade or better rice. This procurement opportunity is located in Marion County and was posted on May 11, 2022, with bid submissions due by May 25, 2022, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time. The successful vendor will be responsible for delivering the first truckload within 45 days of contract award, with subsequent deliveries occurring every 30 days until the full order is complete. Detailed requirements include specific packaging and labeling specifications, with ODOC reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item, group, or total item basis. Pricing must be provided per unit with no more than four digits past the decimal point and must include transportation, fuel surcharge, and delivery charges.
The ITB includes preference provisions that provide a 5% advantage for Oregon-manufactured or processed goods and a 5% preference for contractors headquartered in Oregon. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears to be for a substantial rice supply contract with potential for multiple purchase orders. ODOC has structured the solicitation to encourage local and state-based businesses to participate, potentially limiting out-of-state vendors' competitiveness. The contract term is not definitively specified, but ODOC maintains flexibility to issue purchase orders for quantities less than the total 80,000-pound order. No specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are mentioned in the provided documentation, and information about incumbent vendors is not included in the current ITB materials.
