The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, awarded a purchase order to Keefe Group, LLC on June 17, 2026, under Contract 300-CM for the delivery of 1,200 cases of Mesquite BBQ flavored potato chips to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas. The chips are kosher certified, contain zero trans fats, and are manufactured by Moon Lodge (MPN: 80003609). Each case contains 14 individually packaged items of 8 ounces each, with a unit price of $17.50 per case. The total contract value is $21,000.00, with a delivery date of July 1, 2026, and an allowed receipt timeframe of 14 days from order placement. The state has claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this purchase of tangible personal property for exclusive state use.

The goods are being procured through a term contract mechanism under the purchasing authority of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with Guadalupe Gomez serving as the purchasing agent and billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable. Keefe Group, LLC, the prime contractor based in St. Louis, Missouri, is responsible for fulfilling this order. The commodity acquisition supports institutional commissary operations within the Texas correctional system and represents a single purchase order transaction rather than an ongoing service delivery arrangement.
