Sugars, White Granulated & Powdered

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of white granulated and powdered sugars, targeting Marion County's jurisdictional needs. The solicitation seeks to establish a contract for sugar supplies, with specific requirements for bidders to provide detailed product information including brand, manufacturer, product number, nutritional facts, and ingredient list. ODOC reserves the right to request product samples during the evaluation process and will award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest bid per line item or across all items. The ITB was posted on October 27, 2021, with a bid submission deadline of November 10, 2021. Evaluation criteria will include price responsiveness, product specifications, and compliance with procurement guidelines.

The solicitation includes preferential bidding provisions, offering a 5% preference for Oregon-based goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement appears designed to support the department's ongoing sugar requirements across its facilities. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation, and there are no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract term will commence on a date to be determined by ODOC, with the potential for awarding one or more contracts based on the submitted bids. Potential bidders must carefully review the ITB documentation and ensure complete compliance with all specified procurement requirements to be considered for contract award.
