About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Tuna, Light Meat in Water, seeking to procure 2,880 cases of tuna to be delivered to their Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The solicitation requires tuna that meets USDA Commercial Item Description A-A-20155D specifications, with specific requirements including dolphin-safe certification and a minimum pressed weight of 37.9 oz per can. Vendors must provide tuna in 6/#10 can configurations with a minimum six-month remaining shelf life that complies with FDA/USDA standards. The procurement timeline includes a clarification request deadline of February 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, with the final bid closing on February 25, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST. The first delivery must be completed within 45 days after order receipt or as scheduled by warehouse staff, with pricing to be submitted FOB destination and including all transportation and handling charges.
The ITB includes preferential considerations for Oregon-based businesses, with a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in the state. The most recent comparable purchase was made in January 2024 from Alpine Food at $42.93 per case, which may serve as a benchmark for potential bidders. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the preference for local businesses suggests a potential advantage for smaller or Oregon-based vendors. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the specified technical requirements, food safety standards, and delivery specifications. The total anticipated procurement volume represents approximately two full truck loads of 1,440 cases each, indicating a significant institutional purchasing need for the Oregon Department of Corrections.
