Sugar-Free Jelly Packet Manufacturing

The contract calls for the manufacture of assorted flavor sugar-free jelly packets designed to meet strict institutional food safety standards and extended shelf-life requirements, intended for use in correctional facilities under the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The products must comply with all applicable sanitary, labeling, and preservation protocols to ensure safety and consistency across large-scale distribution, with no artificial sweeteners or added sugars permitted in formulation. Subcontractors must submit proposals by the deadline of July 27, 2026, and are expected to deliver consistent, high-volume output meeting Texas-specific institutional food service parameters. The NAICS code 311340 confirms the scope as food manufacturing, specifically for prepared foods, and the contract is structured as a subcontract under the Texas SmartBuy procurement system. All products must be packaged and labeled appropriately for institutional handling, with attention to temperature stability, contamination prevention, and long-term storage viability in non-refrigerated environments.
