Meat Casings

The 390-A1 state-wide contract vehicle is a specialized procurement mechanism for meat casings, specifically designed to support food service and meat processing operations within Texas state institutions. The vehicle encompasses a comprehensive range of casing products, including synthetic and collagen-based casings, shirred tubing casings in multiple colors (white, black, brown, and red), clear pork roll casings, and edible beef collagen sausage casings. These materials are procured in standardized configurations with specified linear footage and case quantities to meet the operational requirements of state facilities, particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division.

The 390-A1 IDV is managed by CPA Contract Management and is a term contract with geographic coverage limited to Texas. The master indefinite delivery vehicle became effective on May 1, 2021, with an original completion date of August 31, 2025. The primary awardee is Package Concepts & Materials, Inc., with a secondary award to DCW Casing LLC, providing flexibility in sourcing and supply chain management for the state's meat casing requirements.

Under the 390-A1 IDV, seven contract awards have been made with a cumulative contract value of approximately $256,225.03. Individual award values range from $7,500 to $154,560, with the majority of awards issued to Package Concepts & Materials, Inc. Performance periods for individual awards span between January and August 2025, demonstrating a rolling procurement strategy that aligns with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's ongoing institutional food service needs. This multi-award structure ensures competition, supply diversity, and continuity of essential meat processing materials across state correctional facilities.
