About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for frozen vegetables, specifically seeking 80,000 pounds each of assorted vegetable blend and cauliflower. The ITB requires the assorted blend to contain at least three different vegetable types, with no corn content, and all products must meet USDA Grade A or B quality standards. Vendors must provide products with a minimum six-month shelf life remaining at delivery, with the first truckload delivery required within 30 days after order receipt and subsequent deliveries scheduled by warehouse staff. The procurement will be FOB destination to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, OR, with pricing that must include all transportation, fuel surcharge, and delivery charges, and no additional charges permitted for packaging. Key procurement dates include a bid release on January 10, 2025, a deadline for clarification requests on January 17, 2025, and bid closing on January 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST.

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. Historical pricing data indicates previous purchases of assorted blend vegetables at $0.544 per pound from Alpine Foods in August 2024 and cauliflower at $0.678 per pound from LA Foods in October 2024. While specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly outlined, the preferential treatment for Oregon businesses suggests a potential advantage for local vendors. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the specified product requirements, delivery specifications, and quality standards. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the volume of 160,000 pounds of frozen vegetables suggests a significant procurement value for the selected vendor(s).
