Grainger items

The Texas Department of Transportation, Division 601, awarded a purchase order (TXMAS-25-45002) to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on March 31, 2026, for the procurement of Grainger Items under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The contract was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division. The prime contractor, located at 7950 Research Blvd., Austin, Texas 78758-8425, was selected to provide one unit of the specified item at a unit price of $202.90, for a total contract value of approximately $203. The order will be shipped to the United States, and the State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4).

The materials provided do not specify the exact nature or category of the Grainger Items beyond the NIGP classification code, nor do they delineate a distinct performance period beyond the award date of March 31, 2026. The purchase order appears to constitute a single offline sale transaction rather than an ongoing service delivery contract. Given the minimal contract value and single-unit order quantity, this award represents a routine procurement of industrial or maintenance supplies through an established vendor relationship.
