Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division awarded a term contract to Lady Ann Candy Company of Leander, Texas for the supply of confectionery products. The contract, designated 300-CM and issued on February 5, 2026, carries a cumulative value of $34,704.00. The primary place of performance is the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas, where the contractor is obligated to deliver 960 cases of Atkinson brand candy sticks featuring coconut and peanut butter flavoring. Each case contains 200 individual items weighing 0.7 ounces per piece, with a unit price of $36.15 per case. The scheduled delivery date is March 5, 2026, with an allowable receipt and order window of 30 days.

This procurement was executed under a statewide term contract managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, categorized as food products for commissary purposes. The contract documentation indicates a completion date of August 31, 2025, though this appears inconsistent with the February 5, 2026 award date and March delivery schedule reflected in the purchase order. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes applicable to this transaction, as the purchase is designated for exclusive state use within the criminal justice institutional system.
