Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ) awarded a term contract to Keefe Group, LLC for the supply of commissary food products. The contract, issued on February 23, 2026, is valued at $24,192.00 and encompasses the delivery of 1,050 cases of plain, kosher-certified potato chips (Moon Lodge brand, item number 80010397) to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas. Each case contains 48 individual 2.5-ounce items, with a minimum order quantity of 800 cases and a unit price of $23.04 per case. Keefe Group, LLC, headquartered at 1260 Abdes Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri, serves as the prime contractor.

The contract is structured as a Term contract (300-CM) with a scheduled delivery date of March 9, 2026, and an agreed-upon delivery window of 14 days following order release. The completion date is listed as August 31, 2025, which appears to represent a reference or baseline date rather than an active contract termination point given the award date of February 23, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, processed the purchase order, with billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable in Huntsville. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).
