This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW248115 issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department. The amendment provides clarifications to bidder inquiries regarding the procurement of gloves for correctional facilities. The bid opening is scheduled for April 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM. This is a single, one-time shipment with delivery required as soon as possible following solicitation award. Historical ordering data indicates that glove purchases occur on an as-needed basis with quantities varying based on usage; the most recent order quantity was 1,500 units. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment to have their bids considered.
The amendment establishes critical specifications and compliance requirements for the glove procurement. Fingertip thickness must be exactly 4.0 mil with no tolerance for variance, and products must be powder-free. FDA clearance is acceptable and satisfies compliance requirements in lieu of CE certification. Samples should only be submitted if specifically requested by TDCJ following bid submission. Freight charges may be included in the unit price or marked separately as the vendor prefers. Deliveries to the TDCJ Prison Store at 861 I-45 Dock C, Huntsville, Texas 77320 are accepted Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 2:30 PM.
