JELLY IND PACKETS {FY27 Blanket / Snyder}

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting bids to establish blanket purchase orders for assorted-flavor jelly packets (individual portion packs) for delivery to the Snyder Distribution Center in Snyder, Texas, with responses due July 27, 2026.

Respondents must hold a Texas Identification Number and Federal Employer Identification Number prior to contract award and must comply with E-Verify requirements, debarment and suspension verification, child support obligation affirmations, and prohibitions on boycotts, conflicts of interest, and engagement with foreign entities. Unit pricing must remain firm for 30 days from the response due date.

TDCJ reserves the right to make awards based on low line-item response, low total of line items, or any combination serving the state's best interest. Pricing and benefits offered must be at least as favorable as those granted to any previous client for similar products; any more favorable terms discovered during the contract term must be made available to TDCJ upon written request. Freight is F.O.B. destination, prepaid and allowed unless otherwise stated. The resulting contract may be extended up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion. TDCJ may terminate the contract for convenience with 30 calendar days' written notice, with no penalty or additional amounts due. The contract is also subject to termination without penalty based on non-appropriation of funds or legislative action, and TDCJ has no obligation to guarantee any particular quantity or dollar amount of purchases. All communications must be directed in writing to the designated TDCJ purchaser; respondents are prohibited from contacting user department personnel.
