Bookbinding And Bindery Supplies - WorkQuest

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), through its Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to WorkQuest, Inc. of Austin, Texas for bookbinding and bindery supplies. The specific line item under this contract involves plastic comb bindings, measuring 1/2" in diameter and 10-3/4" in length, with 19 rings, packaged in cases of 100. The initial purchase order, numbered 23124057, was issued on April 11, 2023, with a unit price of $16.97 per case, inclusive of freight.

The contract is structured as a term agreement valid from April 11, 2023, through November 30, 2026, enabling TxDOT to procure binding supplies as needed. The initial order will be delivered to the Amarillo District Lab in Amarillo, Texas, with a specified delivery date of May 11, 2023 (30 days after receipt of order). The purchase is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the materials are secured for exclusive state government use. While the detailed cumulative contract value is listed as sixteen dollars, this appears to be an anomaly, and the actual contract value is likely significantly higher given the multi-year term and potential recurring purchases.
