Tin Cans and Ends For Food Processing, and Canning Equipment Maintenance

The Statewide Procurement Division (SPD), a division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA), is requesting sealed responses for tin cans with ends for food processing, and canning equipment maintenance. The primary customer for these items is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The IFB specifies the procurement of approximately 5,276,096 No. 10 tin cans and ends, as well as 288 hours of quarterly service calls for canning equipment, to be delivered to Rosharon, TX. The response is due on October 22, 2024, and the initial contract term is from the effective date through February 28, 2026, with up to four one-year renewal options. Pricing must be firm, fixed, and all-inclusive, with potential annual adjustments based on the Producer Price Index. Evaluation will be based on responsiveness, risk of non-performance, and best value to the state.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It is open to qualified vendors across the state of Texas, including those located in the jurisdictions of Brazoria County and the City of San Antonio. The IFB does not identify any incumbent vendors or provide information on award values or budget ranges.
