The contract specifies 2,400 cases of product manufactured by Brushy Creek, with each case containing 24 items of 11.25 ounces per item and sodium levels not exceeding 700 milligrams per pouch. The product is designated for delivery to the Huntsville Commissary Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas, with a scheduled delivery date of November 9, 2026.

This purchase order reflects a single commodity acquisition under an existing term contract framework (Contract 300-CM) within the TDCJ-ID's procurement portfolio. The transaction was processed by agency purchaser Guadalupe Gomez, with billing directed to TDCJ Accounts Payable and sales tax exemption claimed under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The compressed performance timeline—approximately 14 days from order date to requested arrival—indicates this procurement supports ongoing operational requirements for the state's institutional facilities.
