The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of approximately 42,500 pounds of Brown Sugar. The procurement requires the sugar to conform to USDA Commercial Item Description (CID) A-A-20135E for Refined, White and Brown Sugar, with specific requirements that the product must be food grade and free-flowing. Key procurement dates include a bid release on February 14, 2023, with a deadline for clarification requests on February 21, 2023, and a final bid closing date of February 28, 2023. ODOC will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria that include a 5% preference for Oregon goods and a 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. All deliveries must be FOB destination with transportation charges paid by the contractor, and the product must meet stringent USDA commercial item description standards.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the document does not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing contract holders. The solicitation is open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the specified product requirements and delivery specifications. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves approximately 42,500 pounds of brown sugar, suggesting a moderate-scale contract. The ITB includes standard contract terms and conditions, with requirements for insurance, warranties, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Prospective bidders must demonstrate the ability to provide a high-quality, food-grade product that meets USDA standards, with a focus on delivering a free-flowing brown sugar product that meets the Department of Corrections' specifications.
