Desktop Tape Dispenser, Freight Added To Orders Less Than $25 and 1 more item

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), District 601, awarded a term contract to WorkQuest, Inc. for general office supplies on March 25, 2026. The contract, valued at $11.00, encompasses two desktop office items: a Bazic brand desktop stapler (model OFA-3000) priced at $7.64 per unit and a Rediwrite brand desktop tape dispenser (model OFA-1721A) priced at $3.41 per unit. The purchase order was placed by purchasing agent Brandy Halk with Jennifer Carlson serving as the TxDOT point of contact. The contract is scheduled for completion by November 30, 2026, with an anticipated delivery date of April 8, 2026, allowing 14 days for fulfillment.

The purchase order was billed to the North Regional Service Center Accounts Payable office in Fort Worth, Texas, with delivery specified for Stephenville, Texas. As the items are for exclusive use by a state entity, TxDOT claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). Both line items are subject to freight charges, which will be added to the order due to the subtotal being less than $25. Payment is to be made in advance with freight charges included in the final billing.
