Contract 25219399

W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger has been awarded a contract (TXMAS-25-45002) by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ) through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division. The contract, dated July 30, 2025, involves the procurement of a single line item described as a "GRAINGER ITEM" with a unit price of $244.38, resulting in a total contract value of $244.38. The purchase order will be fulfilled with goods shipped to the TDCJ Information Technology Division (ITD) Maintenance Depot located in Huntsville, Texas.

The contract is processed under the Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) procurement system, which allows state agencies to acquire goods efficiently. The state of Texas has claimed tax exemption under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the purchase is for the exclusive use of a state entity. The contract documentation includes a signed disclaimer noting the state's exemption from federal excise taxes, and the procurement appears to be a targeted, low-value acquisition of specialized equipment or supplies for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's institutional operations.
