The solicitation is scheduled to open on July 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time.

The addendum clarifies that the juice dispensing machine is to be provided under a rental arrangement, with pricing calculated per bag of juice. The vendor's price must include furnishing, installing, and maintaining the machine as a rental at no additional cost to the State, with the option for the vendor to schedule pickup at the end of the contract period.
