About this file

This document is an amendment to an invitation to bid (IFB) issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for the procurement of Cappuccino for resale in TDCJ Commissaries statewide. The amendment extends the bid opening date to March 15, 2024, at 3:00 P.M. and provides responses to questions submitted by potential bidders. The questions cover topics such as bidding on a subset of the required flavors, the minimum order quantities per location, and the acceptance of substitute or equal items. TDCJ confirms that bidders can bid on a subset of the three required flavors and that substitutes/equal items are permitted, as outlined in the original solicitation.

The contract is for a Blanket Purchase Order, and the last price paid for these items was $31.00 per case. TDCJ notes that there is no available bid tabulation with all three flavors, as this solicitation is not replacing a previously closed solicitation. Bidders are required to submit samples of any substitute or equal items before the contract is awarded.
