This is a blanket purchase order solicitation document issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the procurement of assorted-flavor jelly packets in individual portion packs (IPP). The products are to be delivered to the Snyder Distribution Center in Snyder, Texas. The response deadline is July 27, 2026. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the state's best interest. The resulting contract may be extended up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion and may be terminated for convenience with 30 calendar days' written notice at no penalty or additional cost to the state.

Unit pricing must remain firm for 30 days from the response due date, and pricing and benefits offered must be at least as favorable as those granted to any previous client for similar products. Freight is F.O.B. destination, prepaid and allowed unless otherwise stated. Respondents must hold a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award and must comply with E-Verify requirements, debarment and suspension verification, child support obligation affirmations, and prohibitions on boycotts, conflicts of interest, and engagement with foreign entities. TDCJ has no obligation to guarantee any particular quantity or dollar amount of purchases, and the contract is subject to termination without penalty based on non-appropriation of funds or legislative action. All communications must be directed in writing to the designated TDCJ purchaser; direct contact with user department personnel is prohibited.
