The California Department of Food & Agriculture has awarded a non-information technology goods contract valued at thirty dollars to Empire Safety & Supply under contract number 0000034640, effective June 11, 2026. The contract procures personal protective equipment consisting of two distinct line items: Pyramex Ridgeline face shield headgear in black with ratchet suspension and universal pegs (one unit at $12.05), and a Pyramex Ridgeline faceshield combo unit featuring ratchet headgear, black finish, and clear polycarbonate lens measuring 8 inches by 15 inches in universal size (one unit at $16.35).

The contract represents a non-recurring, single-transaction purchase of safety equipment for departmental use. No specific place of performance, period of performance beyond the award date, or cumulative contract value was identified in the contract documentation. As a non-IT goods procurement, this award falls outside information technology acquisition categories and appears to support the Department of Food & Agriculture's operational safety requirements.
