The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (Division 696) awarded a term contract to The Royal Pacific Tea Company Inc., a Scottsdale, Arizona-based supplier, for the delivery of commissary food products. The contract, designated as Term 26260209, was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative value of $37,040.00. The sole line item specifies 800 cases of instant mashed potatoes blended with four cheese varieties (Bleu, Parmesan, Romano, and Cheddar), manufactured under Royal Pacific part number 25551, at a unit price of $46.30 per case. Each case contains 24 items of 10 ounces per item, with a contractual minimum order requirement of 100 cases.

Performance of this contract involves delivery to the Beeville Commissary in Beeville, Texas, with billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable in Huntsville, Texas. The purchase order indicates a scheduled delivery date of May 13, 2026, with an acceptable range of offering of seven days, though the commissary warehouse subsequently noted a revised delivery date of July 1, 2026. The contract completion date is listed as August 31, 2025, which appears to reflect a data entry anomaly given the award and delivery dates. The State of Texas claims exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).
