Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division awarded a term contract to Barbco, Inc., doing business as Rudy Love Distributing, for the supply of food products. Specifically, the contractor is delivering 1,800 cases of tomato-based barbecue sauce to Delivery Zone 5 in Huntsville, Texas. Each case contains 12 items of 24 ounces per item, with a unit price of $17.64 per case. The cumulative contract value is $31,752.00, with a scheduled delivery date of March 20, 2026. The contractor is located at 670 FM 3179 in Huntsville, Texas, and delivery is directed to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse at 1621 State Highway 75 North, Huntsville, Texas.

The contract was awarded on March 6, 2026, under Term Contract 300-CM and is associated with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The contractor must satisfy a minimum order requirement of 1,200 cases, with delivery performance required within 14 days after receipt of order. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this purchase of tangible personal property intended for exclusive state use. The stated completion date in the contract record is August 31, 2025, which predates the award date and appears to be a clerical discrepancy.
