Virginia Western Community College has awarded an Optional Statewide Contract (PO05420443) to Encompass Supply - MRO MSC Industrial, effective January 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The contract encompasses the supply and delivery of precision machining tools, specifically spiral point taps meeting specialized specifications for industrial applications. The single line item calls for five units of 14-20 UNC spiral point taps featuring 2 flutes, plug chamfer configuration, 3B class of fit, high-speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish, and a thread length of 0.7440 inches, with an overall length of 2.6800 inches and right-hand orientation. The unit price for each tap is $12.36, and delivery is designated to April Hudson.

The total cumulative contract value is sixty-one dollars, reflecting the procurement of the specified industrial fastening tools. This Optional Statewide Contract vehicle allows Virginia Western Community College to source maintenance, repair, and operations supplies through the awarded vendor during the contract period. The modest contract value and single line item suggest this represents either an initial delivery under a broader procurement agreement or a specialized tool requirement for the institution's operational needs.
