Regular Scent Deodorant, Man

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is requesting bids to establish a blanket purchase order for men's regular scent deodorant for resale in TDCJ commissaries statewide, with bids due September 28, 2026.

The scope is antiperspirant stick deodorant in standard applicator format with a minimum net weight of 2.25 ounces per unit. Quantities are on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term, with TDCJ retaining discretion to order varying amounts based on commissary demand across the prison system. Vendors must demonstrate capacity to supply consistent inventory levels to support statewide commissary operations and comply with all applicable state purchasing regulations and product quality standards.

The contract term is one year from the date of award, with renewal options available at TDCJ's discretion for up to four additional one-year periods. Pricing must be quoted on a per-unit basis, F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. Bid prices must remain firm for 30 days from the response due date. Any resulting contract may be extended up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion. Products will be delivered to designated commissary distribution centers, and all goods are subject to inspection and testing; vendors bear all costs if products fail to meet specifications.

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 interest, and may reject any or all items at its sole discretion. Award decisions will consider prices, respondent performance history, quality and specification conformance, and best value factors. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com. Respondents are responsible for checking the portal for any amendments to the solicitation issued via Public Notice.
