Grainger items

The State of Texas, through the Texas Workforce Commission (Agency 320), awarded a purchase order to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger under Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) Contract TXMAS-25-45002. The award was issued on March 31, 2026, by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts – Statewide Procurement Division. The contract encompasses the procurement of Grainger items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000, with a total contract value of $557.15 for a single unit at a unit price of $557.15.

The purchase order was directed to Grainger's facility located at 7950 Research Blvd., Austin, Texas 78758-8425, which serves as the place of performance. No specific period of performance beyond the award date is identified in the available documentation. The State of Texas has claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), asserting that the procured items are for the exclusive use of a state entity. The contract is also exempt from Federal Excise Taxes except as otherwise provided in the underlying TXMAS agreement. The modest contract value and single-unit specification indicate this represents an individual purchase order transaction rather than an ongoing service or supply agreement.
