General Office Supplies

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Contract #615-C1) awarded a term contract to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies, effective August 29, 2025, with a performance period through December 31, 2027. The initial purchase order, processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, involves the Stephen F.

The specific line items in this contract include 5 packages of Staples Medium Binder Clips (Black, 12/Pack) at $1.29 per package and 2 packages of Staples Masking Tape (1.89" x 60 yds., Natural) at $5.69 per package, manufactured by WORKLIFE BRANDS. The total initial order value is $17.83, with a three-day delivery timeframe after receipt of order (ARO).
