General Office Supplies

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), contract number 615-C1, awarded a term contract to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies, effective December 10, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2027. The initial purchase order, issued for the Kent County Maintenance office located in Jayton, Texas, involves the procurement of one package of Bic Soft Feel Retractable Ballpoint Pens (36-count, medium point, black ink) at a unit price of $11.78.

The contract is structured as a term contract with specific delivery requirements, including a three-day delivery after receipt (ARO) and a specified delivery date of December 15, 2025. Delivery is mandated between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, excluding state and federal holidays, with shipment to be FOB Destination. The purchase is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the items are for exclusive use by the State of Texas. While the contract's cumulative value is listed as eleven dollars, this appears to be a typographical error or placeholder, and the actual contract value is likely more substantial given its multi-year term.
