Furniture Installation Charge and 1 more item

The Texas Department of Public Safety awarded a purchase order (No. 26268217) to TCI, a Huntsville, Texas-based contractor, on June 5, 2026, for a total contract value of $6,080.00. This noncompetitive award was issued under Contract 425-T5, a term contract for prison-made goods manufactured by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2155.065. The procurement encompasses two primary line items: four fruitwood desks with attached hutches featuring a two-drawer configuration measuring 32 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 30 inches high, priced at $1,370.00 each for an extended price of $5,480.00, and a furniture installation charge of $600.00 for inside installation services.

The ordered furniture and installation services are designated for delivery to the Texas Department of Public Safety's Fredericksburg location, with delivery scheduled for September 3, 2026. The procurement requires a 90-day advance order notice and mandates that performing agency personnel complete background investigations and submit fingerprint-based criminal history clearances via the Texas Department of Public Safety vendor background information form (HQ-22). As a state purchase, the order qualifies for exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division managed the procurement, with billing directed to the state's accounts payable office in Austin.
