Oatmeal

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is currently seeking bids to establish a Blanket Purchase Order for the procurement of oatmeal to be resold in TDCJ Commissaries statewide. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) provides detailed specifications for the oatmeal product, including required quantities, packaging, delivery timelines, and other logistical requirements. Interested bidders must submit their responses by the due date of December 7, 2023, and a mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for potential participants. The resulting contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and will have an initial term of one year with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. The IFB outlines firm, fixed unit pricing for the oatmeal, but the total estimated annual spend is not disclosed.

The solicitation does not indicate any set-asides or preferences for specific types of organizations. Incumbent supplier information is also not provided. Funding for this procurement will come from TDCJ's general operating budget, but the specific budget range is not specified.
