Food Products, Commissary

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ-ID) awarded a term contract to Texas Tito's, Inc., a New Braunfels-based food products supplier, for the provision of commissary items. The contract, identified as 300-CM and issued on March 12, 2026, encompasses the delivery of kosher dill pickles to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas. The specific line item covers 1,800 cases of 15-ounce pickles (24 items per case), meeting the contractual minimum order requirement of 1,700 cases and designated for Delivery Zone 5. The cumulative contract value is $27,144.00, based on a unit price of $15.08 per case, with a scheduled delivery date of March 26, 2026, and a delivery window of 14 days.

The contract was executed under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, with purchasing agent Guadalupe Gomez facilitating the award. The State of Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The completion date listed in the contract record as August 31, 2025, appears inconsistent with the March 2026 award and delivery dates, suggesting this may reflect a renewal or continuation of an existing term contract.
