Grainger items

On March 31, 2026, the Texas Department of Transportation - 601 (TxDOT) awarded a purchase order to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger for the procurement of unspecified Grainger items under statewide contract TXMAS-25-45002. The order, processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, specifies one unit of merchandise at a unit price of $18.60, resulting in a total contract value of $18.60. The contractor is headquartered at 7950 Research Blvd, Austin, Texas 78758-8425. The State of Texas claimed an exemption from federal excise taxes and sales tax obligations under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procurement is for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision.

The specific nature of the Grainger items procured under this purchase order is not detailed in the available documentation, though the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) classification code 45000 suggests the procurement falls within Grainger's general merchandise and supplies category. The purchase order was issued as an offline sale transaction with internal tracking number 9755038123 and represents a spot procurement rather than a multi-year contract with defined performance periods or annual values.
