The contract, identified as 26026080, was executed on November 13, 2025, with a performance period through August 31, 2026.

The purchase order specifies delivery to the Wynne Food Service Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas, with a specific delivery window of December 10-12, 2025. Delivery instructions require the contractor to contact warehouse personnel 24 hours in advance to schedule an appointment. The order is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the products are being secured for exclusive state use.
