Grainger items

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ-ID) awarded contract TXMAS-25-45002 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on March 31, 2026. The contract covers the procurement of Grainger Items under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The purchase order, designated PO No. 26230958, specifies delivery to the TDCJ-ID Maintenance Depot located in Huntsville, Texas, with a total contract value of $9.24 for one unit at a unit price of $9.24. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) as this procurement is for exclusive use by the state.

The available documentation does not provide a detailed item description beyond the generic "Grainger Items" designation, limiting specificity regarding the particular products or services being supplied. The purchase order represents a single-line-item procurement with no specified period of performance beyond the award date of March 31, 2026. As an offline sale purchase order rather than a blanket or requirements contract, this award appears to constitute a discrete transaction rather than an ongoing supply relationship. Given the minimal contract value and the maintenance depot location, the procurement likely involves industrial or maintenance supplies commonly stocked by Grainger.
