The California Department of Transportation awarded a Non-Information Technology Goods contract to APEX FENCE CO INC on March 16, 2026, in the amount of $7,714.90. The contract, identified as CPO-022600000736, was completed on the same date and encompasses the provision of specialized materials for fence and guardrail maintenance operations. The contract delivery includes two primary line items: an SFT-M component valued at $835, which consists of materials required by the Fence and Guardrail crew to execute safety-sensitive repairs on an expedited basis, and a Max Tension Distributer Kit valued at $6,325, representing the secondary component of this procurement.

The materials supplied under this contract were necessary to address inventory gaps within the Department of Transportation's operations, as certain products required for guardrail and fence repairs were unavailable through standard warehouse channels. Given the safety-sensitive nature of the work performed by the Fence and Guardrail crew, the procurement of these specialized items was prioritized to ensure timely completion of critical infrastructure maintenance activities. No specific county or place of performance information is provided in the available contract documentation.
