Plastic Bags, Liners, and Janitorial Supplies - TCI

The Texas Health & Human Services Commission (Agency 529) awarded a term contract to TCI, a Huntsville, Texas-based contractor, for the provision of janitorial and cleaning supplies. The contract, designated Term 26211514, was executed on February 24, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2099. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26211514) totaled $1,332.00 and comprised two line items: 40 cases of Genteel brand dishwashing compound at $27.75 per case ($1,110.00) and 12 corn parlor-type brooms with pine lacquered handles at $18.50 each ($222.00). The products were scheduled for delivery on March 26, 2026, to the Lubbock State Supported Living Center warehouse, with billing directed to the Abilene State Supported Living Center.

The State of Texas asserted exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the supplies were designated for exclusive use by the State of Texas. The purchasing agent for this transaction was George Mills. The extended completion date of December 31, 2099, indicates this is a framework or requirements contract through which the Health & Human Services Commission may issue additional purchase orders for janitorial supplies over an extended period.
