The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division awarded a term contract to Keefe Group, LLC for the supply of food products for commissary operations. This purchase order (No. 26242331), issued on April 22, 2026, procures 1,260 cases of saltine crackers manufactured by Vista for delivery to the Beeville Commissary facility in Beeville, Texas (Delivery Zone 1).

Keefe Group, LLC, a Missouri-based contractor headquartered at 1260 Abdes Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement. The purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, with billing directed to TDCJ's Accounts Payable office in Huntsville, Texas.
