This is a Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) specification document issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the procurement of men's regular scent deodorant to be resold in TDCJ commissaries statewide. The solicitation establishes a framework agreement for the supply of deodorant products meeting specified quality and packaging requirements. The BPO specifies product standards including a minimum net weight of 2.25 ounces per unit, with deodorant formulated as an antiperspirant stick in a standard applicator format. Quantities are established on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, with TDCJ retaining the flexibility to order varying amounts based on commissary demand across the prison system. The contract term is set for one year from the date of award, with renewal options available at TDCJ's discretion for up to four additional one-year periods.

Pricing for the deodorant is to be quoted on a per-unit basis, with vendors required to provide competitive rates for bulk supply to the state agency. The specification document does not identify an incumbent vendor or indicate set-asides for small businesses or other special categories. Payment terms and delivery requirements are standard for TDCJ procurement, with products delivered to designated commissary distribution centers. Vendors responding to this BPO must demonstrate capacity to supply consistent inventory levels to support the statewide commissary retail operation and must comply with all applicable state purchasing regulations and product quality standards as outlined in the specification documentation.
