Prison Commissary Goods

The Texas Term Contract 680-A3 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on prison commissary goods procurement for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The contract enables the acquisition of specific items essential for institutional operations, including electrical cords and digital clock radios. These products are designed for statewide delivery, with a particular emphasis on supplying the TDCJ Commissary Warehouse located in Huntsville, Texas.

The master IDV is administered by the CPA Contract Management and awarded to Music By Mail Inc., a vendor specializing in commissary-related products. The contract is a term-based agreement with a performance period extending from the award date of May 8, 2024, to August 31, 2025, covering the state of Texas. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the IDV supports strategic procurement of institutional supplies through a flexible purchasing mechanism.

Under this IDV, three distinct contract awards have been executed, all with Music By Mail Inc. as the awardee. These awards include two separate procurements of 10,000 digital clock radios at $12.88 per unit (totaling $128,800.00 each) and one order for 196 cases of two-outlet electrical cords at $312.00 per case (totaling $61,152.00). The awards were made on different dates - October 30, 2019, February 6, 2020, and July 18, 2025 - but all share a consistent completion date of August 31, 2025. Each award is tax-exempt and designed to support the specific needs of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's institutional facilities.
