Office Supplies: Pens, Pencils, Erasers, Inks, Etc. - WorkQuest

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Contract No. 620-S1, awarded a term contract to WorkQuest, Inc. for office supplies, specifically mechanical pencils. The procurement, processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, covers the acquisition of American Classic black barrel mechanical pencils, 12 pencils per pack, with 0.7mm lead. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26146398) involves one package priced at $14.55.

The contract period spans from January 5, 2026, to November 30, 2026, with a delivery timeframe of 14 days after receipt of order (ARO). The purchase is subject to Texas state tax exemption under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), and is intended exclusively for state government use. While the cumulative contract value is listed as fourteen dollars, the government file suggests this may represent the initial purchase rather than the total contract value. The order includes specific shipping and billing instructions, requiring the contractor to reference the purchase order number on all shipping documentation.
