Women's Low Court Athletic Shoe, All Black, Leather

Shoe Corporation of Birmingham, Inc., a contractor based in Birmingham, Alabama, was awarded a term contract by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (Contract 800-A1) to supply footwear to state facilities. The contract, formalized on March 30, 2026, involves the procurement of women's low court athletic shoes in all black leather. The cumulative contract value is $178.92, covering 12 pairs of shoes at a unit price of $14.91 per pair. The purchasing agency is the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts – Statewide Procurement Division, with performance directed to the Mart State Juvenile Correctional Facility in Mart, Texas.

The purchase order established a requested delivery date of April 6, 2026, with an Automatic Reorder window of seven days. As a state procurement, the purchase qualifies for tax exemptions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), exempting the State of Texas from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes. While the original specification called for women's shoes, documentation indicates the Mart State Juvenile Correctional Facility ultimately required a men's size 2, suggesting a potential discrepancy between the initial order specifications and actual facility requirements.
