About this file

This is a Bid Amendment No. 1 issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Contracts and Procurement Department, for Bid No. IW241162 regarding Kevlar Oven Mitts. The amendment was issued to provide clarifications and answers to bidder questions prior to the original bid opening date of February 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this amendment with their bid submission, either on the face of the bid or by returning one copy of the notice, to ensure their bid receives consideration. The contract specialist for this procurement is Marie-Ange Jackson, and all communications should be directed to the TDCJ Contracts and Procurement Department located at 2 Financial Plaza, Suite 703, Huntsville, Texas 77340.

The amendment addresses two key questions regarding tax treatment of purchases. TDCJ confirmed that as a tax-exempt, government agency, all purchases under this procurement are exempt from sales tax. The department will provide tax-exempt documentation upon request and clarified that bidders should not include sales tax in their pricing proposals. This tax-exempt status applies to all bid pricing submissions and should be reflected accordingly in the cost proposals submitted by potential vendors.

Question

No.

Question

Answer

1 Can you please advise whether purchases under this procurement are tax exempt (as a sale to the State of Texas/TDCJ), and if so, what documentation TDCJ will provide (e.g., Texas Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate or other tax-exempt purchasing documentation) for our records?

TDCJ is a tax-exempt, government agency, and documentation will be provided, if requested.

2 If it is not tax exempt, please confirm whether sales tax should be included in the bid pricing or handled separately.

Sales tax should not be figured into any pricing as TDCJ is a tax-exempt government agency.
