Contract 26218591

On March 24, 2026, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Agency 601, awarded a purchase order (TXMAS-25-45002) to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger, located at 7950 Research Blvd., Austin, Texas 78758-8425. The contract value totals $348.48 and comprises two line items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. While the purchase order documents identify the items as "Grainger items," specific commodity descriptions are not provided in the available materials. The order was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts – Statewide Procurement Division, with billing and delivery directed to the State of Texas.

The contract represents a one-time purchase order transaction with no specified ongoing performance period. As the purchasing entity is a state agency, the State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), based on the exclusive use of the purchased property by the state. The nominal contract value and limited item descriptions suggest this is a routine supply procurement through an established vendor arrangement rather than a comprehensive service delivery contract.
