The award covers a single line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 45000, specifically one unit of a Grainger item procured under master agreement TXMAS-25-45002. The purchasing agent is the TDCJ Institutional Division Maintenance Depot located in Huntsville, Texas, while Grainger's headquarters is located at 7950 Research Boulevard in Austin, Texas. The transaction is exempt from sales tax under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), which provides tax exemption status for tangible personal property purchased exclusively for state use.

The contract represents a straightforward procurement of maintenance-related equipment or supplies through an existing state master agreement mechanism. No specific product details beyond the Grainger vendor classification are provided in the available documentation. The award was executed on March 30, 2026, with performance anticipated to occur at the TDCJ Institutional Division facility in Huntsville. The relatively modest contract value and single-unit procurement structure indicate this represents a routine maintenance or operational supply requirement for the state correctional institution system.
