General Office Supplies

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), through its Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract (No. 25213091) to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies. The contract, effective from August 6, 2025, to December 31, 2027, covers procurement of various office and maintenance items, with an initial purchase order for a Quickie Plastic Toilet Brush with Caddy (Model 2055463) manufactured by Newell Brands Distribution. The specific line item involves one toilet brush priced at $10.13, to be delivered to TxDOT's South Brazoria Maintenance facility in Angleton, Texas.

The contract demonstrates a standard state-level procurement process, with a three-day delivery requirement and provisions for prepaid freight charges. The purchase order includes standard tax exemption provisions for the State of Texas and involves coordination between TxDOT, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the prime contractor Staples Contract & Commercial LLC. While the initial purchase appears modest, the term contract structure suggests potential for multiple acquisitions of office and maintenance supplies throughout its performance period.
