Contract 1408996

The state of Nebraska Department of Correctional Services has awarded a contract (1408996) to Ace Hardware as the prime contractor. The contract is structured with an unusual extended performance period, commencing on the award date of December 31, 2025, and projected to continue until January 1, 2099. The contract's annual and cumulative financial value is set at $99, which suggests this may be a minimal-scope procurement or potentially a placeholder agreement.

The contract type is designated as "OP", which without additional context cannot be definitively interpreted. Given the awarding organization is the Department of Correctional Services, the contract may involve specialized hardware, maintenance supplies, or equipment for correctional facilities. However, the extremely low contract value limits the ability to draw precise conclusions about the specific goods or services being procured. The contract appears to be a state-level procurement within Nebraska's governmental procurement system.
