General Office Supplies

The Texas Historical Commission (THC) awarded a term contract to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies, effective July 28, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2027. The contract, identified as 25211953, covers a range of administrative procurement needs for the state agency. The initial purchase order, valued at $65.98, was issued for the Starr Family Home in Marshall, Texas, and includes specific office supply items such as Expo Dry Erase Markers, a Bostitch Long Reach Stapler, and two varieties of 2000 Plus Stamp Pads in blue and red inks.

The contract is processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division and operates under a term contract mechanism. The order is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the items are designated for exclusive state use. Delivery parameters specify a three-day turnaround after receipt of order (ARO), with a targeted delivery date of July 31, 2025. The procurement leverages a pre-established state contract to streamline the acquisition of essential office supplies for the Texas Historical Commission's operational requirements.
