About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Vegetable Shortening, specifically seeking one full truckload totaling 800 cases of product that must conform to USDA Commercial Item description standards. The procurement is specific to Marion County and will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, with ODOC reserving the right to award one or more contracts based on line item, group of items, or total items. The bid requires unit-based pricing and detailed product specifications, including information about oil type, mixture, packaging, and lead time. Bidders must submit their proposals by September 16, 2022 at 9:00 AM PST, with no provisions for late, incomplete, or misdirected submissions. ODOC will apply a 5% preference for Oregon-produced goods and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, which adds a local economic development component to the procurement process.
The solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does incentivize Oregon-based businesses through its preference policies. The current incumbent vendor for this contract is Alpine Foods, suggesting potential opportunity for incumbent or local vendors. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement involves a full truckload of vegetable shortening, indicating a substantial contract value. Bidders must carefully review the ITB requirements, particularly around product specifications and preference qualifications. The contract start date remains flexible and will be determined during the award process. No provisions are made for bid protests, emphasizing the need for precise and compliant submissions. Vendors interested in this opportunity must demonstrate their ability to meet USDA commercial item standards and provide comprehensive product details to be considered for award.
