About this file

This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW263301, issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department in response to bidder inquiries regarding a blanket purchase order for Jersey knit fabric. The amendment addresses questions concerning procurement procedures and specifications for approximately 50,000 pounds of fabric annually. The bid opening date is August 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in their bid submission to receive consideration. The fabric specifications vary based on roll width, which determines t-shirt size, with different widths, weights, and shrinkage characteristics. Orders are placed on an as-needed basis according to demand rather than on a fixed schedule.

The TDCJ historically paid $2.31 per pound for this fabric and has no established minimum quantity requirement per release or order. There is no predetermined purchasing schedule; instead, releases are made based on operational demand with no standardized frequency or typical order quantity. Bidders should note that pricing and ordering flexibility are key components of this procurement, as the agency requires responsive supplier capability to accommodate variable demand patterns for inmate apparel production.
