W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger was awarded a contract by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Agency 601, on March 26, 2026. The contract, identified as TXMAS-25-45002, involves the provision of Grainger items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The prime contractor is located at 7950 Research Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78758-8425. The purchase order total value is $40.03, comprised of two line items: one Grainger item at $40.03 and one Grainger item at no cost.

The contract documents do not specify the detailed nature of the Grainger items procured, the contract period of performance, or the location of performance beyond the contractor's place of business in Austin, Texas. Based on the purchase order classification and NIGP coding, the items fall within the general category of supplies or equipment. The State of Texas has claimed an exemption from sales and excise taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), indicating the materials are for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision. The limited contract value and structure suggest this represents a single purchase order transaction rather than an open-ended supply agreement.
