This document is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW258303, issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department. The amendment modifies specifications for a blanket purchase order solicitation for sweetener and sugar substitute products to be delivered to the Wynne Food Service Warehouse in Huntsville, Texas, for fiscal year 2027. The bid opening date and time is July 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment either on the face of their bid or by returning one copy of the notice; failure to do so may result in the bid not being given consideration. Additional solicitation documents are available on Bonfire.

Respondents must possess both a Texas Identification Number (TINS) and Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) prior to contract award. Pricing must be submitted on a unit basis as shown on the solicitation form, with unit prices controlling in case of extension errors. All prices must remain firm for 30 days from the response due date. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on the low line-item response, low total of line-items, or any combination serving the state's best interest, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion. The resulting contract may be extended up to three months at the state's discretion and is terminable without penalty if appropriated funds become unavailable, or for convenience with 30 days' written notice. All goods are subject to inspection and testing by TDCJ personnel, with vendors bearing all costs if products fail to meet specifications. Delivery must occur during normal working hours unless prior approval is obtained. TDCJ is exempt from state and federal sales and excise taxes and will furnish exemption certificates upon request.
