Business File Box Clipboard, Freight added to orders less than $25.

WorkQuest Inc., an Austin-based contractor, was awarded a purchase order by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on September 24, 2026, for the supply of office equipment. The contract, designated as 27003177, calls for the delivery of five Business File Box Clipboards (Model OF1-2310) manufactured by Rediwrite at a unit price of $7.28 each, resulting in a total contract value of $36.40. The items are being procured under a term contract (615-S1, National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 61525) and will be delivered to TxDOT's Field Operations Division in Amarillo, Texas, with an estimated delivery date of October 8, 2026.

The purchase order specifies delivery between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with freight prepaid and Free on Board destination terms. As a state agency purchase, the order is exempt from state and city sales taxes and all federal excise taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). No separate freight charges were assessed because the order value fell below the $25 threshold that would trigger additional freight line items. The purchasing agent is Nina Araujo from TxDOT's central office.
