The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division (TDCJ) awarded a term contract to Advanced Commodities, Inc. for the procurement of cafeteria food products, specifically general purpose enriched flour. The contract, identified as 26004525, covers the period from October 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with an initial order totaling $13,761.50. The award involves the delivery of 850 fifty-pound bags of flour to the Southern Region Distribution Center in Rosharon, Texas, with a unit price of $16.19 per bag.

The purchase order stipulates specific delivery requirements for the flour, manufactured by ADM Ardent, to TDCJ's Area 5 facility. Delivery is mandated on or before November 1, 2025, with the contractor required to schedule delivery appointments by contacting the warehouse 24 hours in advance.
