About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division is seeking bids for a frozen vegetable procurement, specifically targeting approximately 40,000 pounds each of peppers, peas, corn, and carrots. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires vendors to deliver frozen vegetables to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with full truck load (FTL) deliveries to be completed within 30 days after order receipt or as scheduled by warehouse staff. Bidders must meet stringent FDA/USDA food safety regulations, with specific packaging, labeling, and product specifications. The vegetables must be instantly quick frozen (IQF) with a minimum six-month shelf life, and each vegetable type has unique requirements, such as specific pepper dice sizes and pea blend compositions. The bid submission deadline is March 21, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST, with historical pricing data indicating vegetable purchase rates between $0.418 and $0.575 per pound.
The solicitation includes preferential considerations for Oregon-based businesses, offering a 5% preference for Oregon goods and services and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, potentially providing a total 10% advantage to local vendors. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the detailed technical specifications. The contract aims to establish a supply relationship for frozen vegetables, with potential award values estimated based on the anticipated 40,000-pound quantities per vegetable type. Prospective bidders must demonstrate compliance with comprehensive food safety standards, provide appropriate packaging, and ensure product quality meeting the specified grade, cut type, and size requirements. The procurement process emphasizes local economic support while maintaining strict quality control and nutritional standards for the Oregon Department of Corrections' food service needs.
