Grainger items

The Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA), a political subdivision of the State of Texas located in Nueces County, awarded a purchase order to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on March 31, 2026, under contract TXMAS-25-45002. The contract was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. Grainger, an industrial supply contractor based in Austin, Texas, was selected to provide one unspecified line item classified as Grainger Items under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The contract value totaled $218.21.

The goods were to be delivered to the CCRTA's facility located at 602 North Staples Street, Corpus Christi, Texas 78401. The purchase order was subject to Texas's sales tax exemption for political subdivisions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), reflecting the materials' designation for exclusive use by the governmental entity. The specific nature of the Grainger Items procured is not detailed in the available documentation; however, given Grainger's classification as an industrial supply contractor, the procurement likely consisted of maintenance, repair, or operational supplies necessary for the transportation authority's operations. No annual value or multi-year contract period is documented; this transaction represents a single purchase order issuance.
