About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for vegetable shortening to be delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. The procurement seeks bids for a specific quantity of vegetable shortening with detailed technical specifications and delivery requirements. Bidders must submit comprehensive pricing and product information, with ODOC reserving the right to award one or more contracts based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid per line item, group of items, or all items. The bid deadline is December 23, 2021, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time, with the contract start date to be determined upon award. Prospective vendors must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations related to the goods, and ODOC will conduct inspections and retain the right to reject non-conforming products. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, product quality, delivery capability, and compliance with technical specifications outlined in the ITB.
The solicitation includes provisions for Oregon-made goods and services, with potential preference given to resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. The previous contract for this procurement was awarded to Alpine Food Distribution in August 2021 at a cost of $56.19 per case, which provides a benchmark for potential bidders. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the ITB suggests an open competitive bidding process with potential advantages for local vendors. The contract includes standard terms related to warranties, product recalls, and payment conditions. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to consistently meet the ODOC's vegetable shortening requirements, including quality, quantity, and delivery specifications. Though the exact budget range is not specified, the previous contract value suggests a moderate-scale procurement focused on meeting the department's institutional food service needs.
