The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ-ID) awarded a purchase order to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on March 31, 2026, under Contract TXMAS-25-45002. The contract encompasses the procurement of Grainger Items, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The single line item consists of one unit priced at $183.26, resulting in a total contract value of $183.26. Performance of this contract was directed to the TDCJ Institutional and Treatment Division (ITD) Maintenance Depot located in Huntsville, Texas.

The purchase order represents an offline sale transaction processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division. As a state agency procurement, the State of Texas claimed an exemption from federal excise taxes and asserted a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this purchase of tangible personal property designated for exclusive use by the state agency. The contract does not specify a distinct performance period separate from the award date, indicating this to be a direct purchase order fulfillment rather than a term contract with ongoing service obligations.
