This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW258282 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 amendment modifies specifications on the original solicitation IW258282, with bidders required to acknowledge receipt of this amendment in their bid submissions or risk non-consideration. The bid opening is scheduled for July 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Respondents must submit proposals by July 22, 2026, with firm pricing valid for thirty days from the response due date quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid. 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 interests, and the resulting blanket purchase order contract may be extended for up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion.

All pricing and terms offered to TDCJ must be at least as favorable as those provided to any previous client for similar products or services, with any more favorable terms discovered during the contract term 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. Bidders 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 meet cybersecurity requirements. 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. Violations of mandatory prohibitions on surveillance or intimidation activities may result in contract termination, debarment, and penalties up to two million dollars.
