Food Products (Buy American)

The 300-GS1 vehicle provides Texas state and local government entities with a comprehensive procurement mechanism for food products subject to Buy American compliance requirements. The contract encompasses a broad range of food commodities including frozen fruits (papayas, passion fruit, and limes), bakery products (bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries), desserts, eggs, and prepared meat entrees. This vehicle is designed to streamline acquisition processes for essential food-related supplies while ensuring adherence to Buy American standards and enabling efficient purchasing across multiple food product categories for governmental entities throughout Texas.

The master indefinite delivery vehicle, designated as 300-GS1 (Labatt Food Service), is awarded to Labatt Food Service and is administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Contract Management division. The contract operates as a term agreement with a performance period extending from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2026, providing coverage across the state of Texas. The overall contract value is not explicitly stated in the available documentation; however, the vehicle establishes a standardized procurement framework for state and local purchasing activities.

Under this IDV, at least one award has been documented: a term contract with Hidalgo County (300-GS1) valued at $351 for specific food products including Lays Baked BBQ Potato Chips and Bongards American Sliced Cheese. This award incorporates delivery specifications requiring a 7-day window following order receipt and leverages Texas tax exemption provisions. The structure of the master IDV indicates the potential for multiple similar procurement awards across additional Texas governmental entities, establishing a scalable approach to food product acquisition throughout the state.
