CORNBREAD MIX {FY27 Blanket / Snyder}

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish blanket purchase orders for yellow cornbread mix delivery to the Snyder Distribution Center, Snyder, Texas, with proposals due July 22, 2026.

Respondents must submit firm pricing for thirty days from the response due date, quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis with freight prepaid. TDCJ reserves the right to award based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the state's best interests. The resulting contract may be extended for up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion.

All pricing and terms offered to TDCJ must be at least as favorable as those provided to any previous client for similar products or services; any more favorable terms discovered during the contract term become immediately available to TDCJ. Purchases are exempt from state and federal sales and excise taxes, with TDCJ providing tax exemption certificates upon request; the respondent bears responsibility for all resulting federal, state, and local taxes.

Respondents must comply with E-Verify requirements, provide certification of non-exclusion from terrorist organization lists, affirm non-discrimination in firearms and energy company boycotts, and comply with cybersecurity requirements. Prohibition of surveillance or intimidation activities is mandatory; violations may result in contract termination, debarment, and penalties up to two million dollars.

The contract is subject to termination or cancellation without penalty if appropriated funds become unavailable due to legislative action. TDCJ may terminate for convenience with thirty days' written notice.
