The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is soliciting bids for a purchase order to procure sliced bread for the Bradshaw State Jail in Henderson, Texas. The procurement seeks white or wheat sandwich-style bread in 20 oz loaves with specific requirements for packaging, delivery, and product quality. Vendors must provide bread that is sliced, wrapped, and delivered in original packaging, with each loaf clearly marked and made from whole grains to meet nutritional standards. The contract period is set from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with an optional renewal period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) portal by September 23, 2025, at 3 P.M., with vendors required to upload all necessary documentation and ensure successful submission before the deadline. The evaluation will focus on best value selection, considering factors such as pricing, vendor performance history, and product quality. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with Texas state purchasing regulations, including providing Texas Identification Numbers, federal tax identification information, and adhering to E-Verify requirements and anti-boycott provisions. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the contract includes detailed provisions for rack and tray systems, product replacement, and strict security protocols for deliveries to correctional facilities. The TDCJ reserves the right to adjust prices based on specified economic indexes and does not guarantee minimum order quantities. Pricing will be unit-based, with electronic funds transfer preferred for payment, which will be processed within thirty calendar days after invoice receipt or goods delivery. Potential vendors should note the comprehensive security and operational requirements specific to providing goods to a state correctional facility.
