Regular Scent Deodorant, Man

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is requesting bids for men's regular scent deodorant for resale in TDCJ commissaries statewide under a blanket purchase order, with bids due October 19, 2026. This is a re-solicitation.

Set-asides are available under Texas Administrative Code Rule 20.306 for goods produced or offered by Texas bidders owned by Texas resident service-disabled veterans and for goods produced in Texas or offered by Texas bidders.

Bidders must submit responses on the provided form with unit pricing, F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and allowed. Responses must be time-stamped at the designated TDCJ office by the due date. Pricing shall be quoted with Net 30 payment terms and a cash discount option available. Invoicing is directed to the TDCJ Accounts Payable office in Huntsville, Texas.

All items must be new and unused. Respondents must provide a Texas Identification Number (T.I.N.S.) and Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) prior to contract award. 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. Bid responses remain firm for TDCJ acceptance for 30 days from the response due date.

The contract is subject to termination for non-appropriation or unavailability of funds without penalty to the agency and may be extended up to three months at TDCJ's sole discretion. All benefits, pricing, and hourly rates granted to TDCJ must be at least as favorable as those provided to any previous client for similar services or products; if more favorable terms are negotiated with another client during the contract term, TDCJ has the right to receive those improved terms. Purchases for State of Texas use are exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax.
