Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ/ID) awarded a term contract to Barbco, Inc. dba Rudy Love Distributing for the supply of food products to its commissary operations. The contract, designated 300-CM and issued on February 25, 2026, covers the procurement of 1,620 cases of Kosher Certified Jalapeno Potato Chips with zero trans fats for delivery to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas. The unit price is $21.10 per case, yielding a cumulative contract value of $34,182.00. The product is designated for Delivery Zone 5, with a minimum order requirement of 1,200 cases. The scheduled delivery date per the commissary warehouse is March 27, 2026.

The contract represents a food products procurement under TDCJ's standard term contracting vehicle for commissary supplies. As a purchase by a state agency, the procurement is exempt from Texas state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contractor, Barbco, Inc. dba Rudy Love Distributing, is located in Huntsville, Texas, with billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable and primary contact through purchaser Guadalupe Gomez. The stated contract completion date of August 31, 2025 appears to reflect a data entry discrepancy, as it predates the award date of February 25, 2026 and the scheduled delivery date of March 27, 2026.
