Turkey, Cooked Whole Multi-Muscle

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division issued an Invitation to Bid on April 10, 2026, for the procurement of approximately 40,000 pounds of cooked whole turkey multi-muscle meat to be delivered to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The product must be U.S. Procurement Grade B poultry or better, fully cooked, boneless, skinless, and unbreaded, processed from whole turkey muscle with no water injection or monosodium glutamate (MSG). Delivery is required within 35 days after receipt of order as a full truckload with goods delivered FOB destination to the ODOC warehouse, and all products must have a minimum of six months remaining shelf life before the best-use-by date while complying with FDA, USDA, and Food Safety and Inspection Service requirements. Bidders may submit pricing per unit with no more than four decimal places, with all transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery charges prepaid by the contractor, and may bid on quantities ranging from 50 to 100 percent of the estimated 40,000 pounds required. The deadline for requesting clarifications or changes is April 17, 2026, at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, with a bid closing date of April 24, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the lowest total price per line item or group of items at ODOC's discretion, and all goods are subject to inspection and acceptance within 15 days of receipt with payment normally made within 30 days following delivery and acceptance.

ODOC applies a five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods and an additional five percent preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, totaling a possible ten percent preference deduction for evaluation purposes only. Historical pricing from February 2026 indicates the product was previously awarded at $2.94 per pound in 44-pound cases to National Food Group, providing a reference point for bidders in developing their proposals. No bidders' conference or site visit is indicated in the solicitation. The solicitation does not allow for protests per ORS 421.438(2) and OAR 291-164-0120(1)(a)(F). Contract start date is to be determined upon purchase order issuance. Based on the historical pricing of $2.94 per pound and the estimated procurement of 40,000 pounds, the total contract value is anticipated to be approximately $117,600.
