About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of approximately 120,000 pounds of frozen carrots to be delivered to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon under Opportunity #S-29100-00016071. Acceptable carrot varieties include julienne, sliced crinkle, diced (minimum 3/8 inch), whole baby, or regular sliced cuts. The procurement requires three full truckload deliveries of approximately 40,000 pounds each, with the first delivery required within 30 days of purchase order issuance and subsequent deliveries scheduled 30 days apart. All goods must comply with FDA/USDA standards, maintain a minimum six-month shelf life from delivery, and meet specific packaging and labeling requirements with proper code dating converted to Gregorian calendar format. Bids must be submitted exclusively through OREGONBUYS, with a deadline for clarification requests on February 26, 2026, at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, and a bid closing date of March 5, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST. Pricing must be submitted on a per-unit basis with no more than four decimal places and must include all transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery charges on an FOB Destination basis. Contract award will be determined based on the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder.
ODOC offers a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and an additional 5% preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, with a maximum combined preference of 10%. The previous contract holder was Alpine Food Distributing, which held the award as of August 2025 at historical pricing of $0.398 per pound in 30-pound cases. No current incumbency restrictions apply, and no bidders' conference is scheduled. The single point of contact for all inquiries is Ben Hittle, Procurement/Contracts Specialist, at docfoodbuy@doc.oregon.gov. Notably, no protests are permitted for this solicitation per ORS 421.438(2) and OAR 291-164-0120(1)(a)(F). The contract terms will commence upon purchase order issuance with no specific contract expiration date identified in the solicitation.
