Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ) awarded a term contract to The Travis Association for the Blind for the supply of food products to support commissary operations at correctional facilities. The contract, designated as Term 26211842, was executed on February 25, 2026, with a cumulative value of $45,200.00. The prime contractor is obligated to deliver 1,600 cases of chicken chunk breast in broth manufactured by Food Life Balanced to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Delivery Zone 5, Huntsville, Texas, with a scheduled delivery date of March 18, 2026.

The procurement specifies a unit price of $28.25 per case, with each case containing 24 items of 4.5 ounces each and a minimum order quantity of 800 cases per delivery zone. The contract falls under the State of Texas's tax-exempt procurement status and was managed by purchaser Guadalupe Gomez of the TDCJ. While the contract award date is listed as February 25, 2026, the stated completion date of August 31, 2025 appears to be a clerical anomaly and should be verified against the purchase order documentation.
