The contract, designated as Contract 785-S1, covers the acquisition of twelve Steno Notebooks (Gregg Ruled, 6 x 9 inches, Bazic Model 00577) at a unit price of $1.76 each, totaling $21.12 for the line item. The purchase order is billed to TxDOT's Financial Voucher Processing office in Austin, with delivery directed to Houston, Texas. The total contract value is $26.12, which includes a $5.00 transportation and freight charge applied due to the merchandise subtotal falling below the $25 minimum threshold.

The purchase order is exempt from state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the materials are procured for exclusive use by the State of Texas. The expected delivery date is August 7, 2026, fourteen days following order placement. Neal Dugas serves as the purchaser for TxDOT in this transaction. This award represents a routine supply purchase under an existing term contract mechanism rather than a competitively bid engagement.
