About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for vegetable shortening, seeking approximately 800 cases or one full truckload of 40,000 pounds to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The procurement requires shortening that meets USDA Commercial Item Description A-A-20100D for Type II Bakery specifications, with a precise oil composition of 45-55% Canola Oil and 44-54% Palm Oil/Palm Kernel Oil. The bid was released on December 9, 2024, with clarification requests due by December 16, 2024, at 9:00 AM PST, and a final bid closing date of December 23, 2024, at 9:00 AM PST. Vendors must provide pricing FOB destination, including all transportation and handling charges, with delivery required within 45 days after order receipt. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements, with ODOC reserving the right to award by line item, groups of items, or on an all-or-none basis.
The solicitation includes a unique preference structure providing a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially offering a total 10% preference advantage. The most recent purchase of this item, made in July 2024, was awarded to Robbins Sales at $52.56 per 50-pound case, which may serve as a benchmark for potential bidders. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the local preference policy suggests a commitment to supporting Oregon-based businesses. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. The estimated total contract value, based on the previous purchase price, would approximate $42,048 for the 800-case order, though actual pricing may vary based on current market conditions and vendor proposals.
