Mailbox Components - TCI

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), specifically the Athens district, awarded a term contract to TCI, a vendor based in Huntsville, Texas, for the procurement of mailbox extension brackets. The contract, identified as 23134857, was executed on April 28, 2023, with a projected completion date of December 31, 2099. The initial purchase order encompasses 1,000 mailbox extension brackets (BS-01474), constructed of 14-gauge galvanized steel, measuring 14" x 3-3/4", and designed to be used in conjunction with mounting brackets for multiple mailbox installations.

The contract has a total cumulative value of $6,220.00, with a unit price of $6.22 per bracket. The purchase is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the materials are for exclusive state use. The delivery timeframe is 90 days after receipt of order, with a specified delivery date of July 27, 2023. This term contract appears to be a strategic procurement mechanism for TxDOT to standardize and efficiently acquire mailbox infrastructure components for state transportation infrastructure projects.
