The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division is requesting bids on frozen corn vegetables through ITB, with bids due July 24, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. (PST) and a clarification deadline of July 17, 2026. Oregon offers a combined five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods and an additional five percent preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon, for a total possible preference of ten percent.

The scope is approximately 40,000 pounds (one full truckload) of frozen, sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel style corn. Bidders must provide complete product identification including brand, manufacturer information, nutritional facts labels, and best use by dates with a minimum six-month shelf life remaining at delivery. All goods must comply with FDA/USDA standards, Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, and allergen labeling requirements.

Delivery is FOB Destination to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem within 30 days of purchase order issuance or as scheduled by warehouse staff. Pricing must be quoted per pound (no more than four decimal places) and must include all transportation, fuel surcharges, and delivery charges fully prepaid. The last frozen corn purchase in August 2025 was priced at $0.498 per pound from Alpine Food, providing a reference point for competitive positioning.

Contractors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and submit certificates of insurance within seven days of award. Submissions are accepted through the OregonBuys system only; emailed bids will not be accepted. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications.
