Contract 26222517

The State of Texas, Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division awarded a purchase order (No. 26222517) to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on March 25, 2026, under the TXMAS-25-45002 contract. The contracting organization, located in Huntsville, Texas, procured two line items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 45000 (Grainger items) for a total contract value of $164.83. The purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this tangible personal property acquisition, with the items designated for exclusive use by the procurement entity.

While specific product descriptions are not detailed in the supporting documentation, the contract reflects a routine maintenance supply acquisition by the Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The two line items each constitute one unit, with one priced at $164.83 and the second at no additional cost. Given the vendor classification and purchasing department designation, these items are inferred to represent general maintenance or operational supplies necessary for institutional operations. The narrow contract value and streamlined purchase order structure indicate this represents a single-transaction acquisition rather than an ongoing requirements contract.
