About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is seeking to procure an estimated 952 cases of tomato paste through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) released on July 18, 2025. The solicitation requires U.S. Grade A or Fancy tomato paste in cans, with specific product requirements including no flavoring, no more than two ingredients, and sodium content not exceeding 240 mg per tablespoon. Deliveries will be made to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with an initial delivery expected within 30 days of award or as scheduled by warehouse staff. The bid closing date is August 1, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Evaluation criteria include detailed product information submissions, packaging specifics, best use by dates, and manufacturing details. ODOC reserves the right to award partial quantities or reject all bids.
The procurement offers preferential treatment for Oregon-based businesses, with 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% evaluation preference. The historical purchasing data indicates the previous tomato paste purchase was in May 2025 from Highland Wholesale at $27.75 per case. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the preferential treatment for local businesses provides some opportunity for Oregon-based vendors. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, but the estimated quantity of 952 cases (or 40,000 pounds) suggests a significant procurement volume. The contract appears to be open to multiple bidders, with the primary selection criteria focused on price, product quality, and compliance with the detailed specifications outlined in the ITB.
