General Office Supplies

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) awarded a term contract to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies, effective August 25, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2027. The initial purchase order involves Earthwise by Ampad Notepads, specifically 5" x 8" college-ruled white notepads with 40 sheets per pad, packaged in sets of 6 pads. The contract, identified as 615-C1, was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division.

The initial line item order comprises 8 packages of notepads at a unit price of $6.55, resulting in a total order value of $52.40. The purchase is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the items are designated for exclusive state use. Manufactured by TOPS Business Forms, the notepads are to be delivered to the Texas Workforce Commission in Austin, with a specified delivery date of August 28, 2025, occurring three days after receipt of order. The contract appears to be a standard term supply agreement for office consumables, enabling the Texas state agency to procure necessary administrative supplies through a pre-negotiated procurement vehicle.
