Description
The Oregon Department of Corrections is seeking a vendor to supply 80,000 pounds of bulk peanut butter, meeting strict USDA/FDA specifications, for distribution through its Central Distribution Center. The contract is open‑market, competitive sealed bid, and requires FOB destination delivery with specific pallet and case requirements. Bidders must submit pricing per pound, adhere to labeling and packaging rules (no metal, proper allergen labeling, optional Kosher certification), and be prepared to provide documentation such as nutritional labels, import approvals, and sample verification within defined response windows. The solicitation includes a modest preference for Oregon‑manufactured or Oregon‑resident firms, though it remains open to all qualified suppliers.
• Quantity: 80,000 lb of Grade A or Fancy U.S. peanut butter, stabilized, ≤ 280 mg sodium/2 Tbsp.
• Delivery: FOB destination to ODOC Central Distribution Center, pallet weight ≤ 2,500 lb, case weight ≤ 50 lb, no metal packaging.
• Pricing: Unit price per pound (including transport), with a 30‑day firm‑offer period after bid closing.
• Evaluation: Lowest responsive bid after applying any Oregon‑goods or resident preference discounts; no alternate bids allowed.
