This is a blanket purchase order solicitation issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the procurement of yellow cornbread mix to be delivered to the Snyder Distribution Center in Snyder, Texas. The solicitation requests firm pricing quotes valid for thirty days from the response due date of July 22, 2026. The contract may be extended for up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on the low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination deemed to serve the state's best interests.

Pricing must be quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid. All pricing and terms offered to TDCJ must be at least as favorable as those provided to any previous clients for similar products or services; any more favorable terms discovered during the contract term become immediately available to TDCJ. Purchases are exempt from state and federal sales and excise taxes, with TDCJ providing tax exemption certificates upon request; respondents bear responsibility for all resulting federal, state, and local taxes. Respondents must comply with E-Verify requirements, provide certification of non-exclusion from terrorist organization lists, affirm non-discrimination in firearms and energy company boycotts, and comply with cybersecurity requirements. Surveillance or intimidation activities are prohibited, with violations subject to contract termination, debarment, and penalties up to two million dollars. The contract is subject to termination or cancellation without penalty if appropriated funds become unavailable due to legislative action, and TDCJ may terminate for convenience with thirty days' written notice.
