The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ), awarded a term contract to Shaver Foods LLC, an Arkansas-based supplier, for the provision of bottled water to support commissary operations. The contract, designated 300-CM and issued on March 16, 2026, encompasses delivery of 1,596 cases of Glacier Clear bottled water to Delivery Zone 5 in Huntsville, Texas. Each case contains 24 individual items of 16.9-ounce bottles at a unit price of $3.18 per case, with a minimum order quantity of 1,200 cases. The total cumulative contract value is $5,075.28, with scheduled delivery to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse on April 8, 2026.

This procurement represents a routine supply arrangement for institutional food products under TDCJ's commissary operations. The contracting organization processed the purchase order through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, with billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable in Huntsville. The award demonstrates Texas's tax-exempt status under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), exempting the state from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes. The 14-day delivery window following order receipt reflects standard logistics timelines for commodity provision to correctional institutional facilities.
