About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is soliciting bids for vegetable shortening and salad oil through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on March 21, 2025. The procurement seeks 800 cases of vegetable shortening and 2,280 cases of salad oil to be delivered to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. Delivery requirements mandate full truck load (FTL) quantities, with one FTL of vegetable shortening (approximately 40,000 pounds) to be delivered within 45 days after order receipt, and two FTLs of salad oil (approximately 1,140 cases or 40,000 pounds) to be delivered in increments 30 days apart. The technical specifications include mandatory oil composition percentages, ingredient restrictions, and specific packaging requirements. Key evaluation criteria involve a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services, and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially providing up to a 10% total preference. The bid clarification deadline is set for March 31, 2025, with the final bid closing date of April 7, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Historical pricing indicates previous contracts were awarded to Advanced Commodities for vegetable shortening at $47.92 per 50-pound case and Alpine Food for salad oil at $24.87 per 35-pound case. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement involves multiple full truck load deliveries with strict compliance requirements for product labeling, food safety, packaging, and best-use-by dates. Bidders must meet comprehensive technical specifications, with non-compliant submissions subject to immediate rejection. The contract appears to be open to vendors capable of meeting the stringent product and delivery requirements, with a potential competitive advantage for Oregon-based companies. Interested vendors must carefully review the ITB documentation to ensure complete alignment with ODOC's detailed procurement specifications.
