Grainger items

W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger, headquartered in Austin, Texas, was awarded a purchase order by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Authority on March 31, 2026, under Texas Contract TXMAS-25-45002. The award represents a single transaction valued at $662.88 for the procurement of Grainger items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The goods are to be delivered to DART's location at PO Box 660163, Dallas, Texas 75266. This offline sale purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division and applied a state sales tax exemption pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

The procurement constitutes a one-time purchase of tangible personal property for exclusive use by the political subdivision, with the transaction exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes. While the specific line items are identified only as "Grainger items" in the purchase order documentation, the relatively modest contract value and single-unit quantity indicate a routine supplies acquisition. As a state and local government purchase, the transaction followed applicable procurement exemptions for political subdivisions under Texas law.
