The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) was awarded a non-competitive contract on November 13, 2025, under the Prison Made Good Act. The contract is specifically for fence-related services, as indicated by the UNSPSC and NIGP codes, which include fence construction, fencing and railing services, and posthole digging services. The award is governed by Texas Government Code provisions, specifically Title 10, Subtitle D, Chapter A, Section 2155.065 and Title 4, Subtitle G, Chapter 497, Subchapter A, Sections 497.023-497.029.

The contract is unique in that it is awarded to Texas Correctional Industries (TCI), a division of TDCJ, through a non-competitive procurement process. While specific contract financial details are not provided, the award appears to be for comprehensive fencing services potentially to be performed across Texas correctional facilities. The non-competitive nature suggests this is an internal state agency arrangement leveraging prison labor and industry resources for infrastructure maintenance and construction services.
