General Office Supplies

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has awarded a term contract (26157894) to Staples Contract & Commercial LLC for general office supplies. The contract, effective from January 15, 2026, to December 31, 2027, initially involves the procurement of Scotch Permanent Double Sided Tape with a Refillable Dispenser (3-pack) at a unit price of $3.71. The contract appears to be executed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, specifically involving the Lufkin maintenance division.

The initial line item represents a tax-exempt purchase under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), with a delivery window of three days from the order date. While the cumulative contract value is listed as three dollars, this likely represents a minimal placeholder amount, with the actual spending potential potentially being significantly higher. The contract enables TxDOT to acquire office supplies through Staples Contract & Commercial LLC, with the initial purchase order processed by agency purchaser Kimberly Faglie and point of contact Christie Maddux located at the TxDOT Lufkin maintenance facility.
