About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for 80,000 pounds of frozen assorted vegetables, requiring two full truckloads of 40,000 pounds each. The vegetable blend must include a minimum of three different types selected from green beans, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, squash, or other vegetables, with corn explicitly prohibited. Key requirements include compliance with FDA/USDA standards, nutritional fact labels, a minimum six-month shelf life, and specific size specifications for diced vegetables (3/8 inch or larger) and florets (1/2 inch or larger). The procurement timeline includes a clarification request deadline of January 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST, and a bid closing date of January 20, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST. Deliveries must be completed within 40 days after receipt of order (ARO) to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon. Bidders must submit pricing with no more than four decimal points, including transportation, fuel surcharge, and delivery charges, and submit all documentation through the OregonBuys system.
The solicitation includes preferential treatment for Oregon-based businesses, with a five percent preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and an additional five percent preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially providing a total ten percent preference. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder after applying these preferences. Historical pricing data indicates the previous purchase in August 2025 was awarded to Alpine Food at $0.544 per pound for 20-pound cases. Vendors may be required to provide samples within four days of request, and imported goods must include U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspection documentation. No protests are permitted under this solicitation per ORS 421.438(2) and OAR 291-164-0120(1)(a)(F). The single point of contact for inquiries is Ben Hittle, Procurement/Contracts Specialist, who can be reached at docfoodbuy@doc.oregon.gov.
