Grainger items

W.W. Grainger, Inc., headquartered in Austin, Texas, was awarded a purchase order by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), a political subdivision of the State of Texas, under the TXMAS-25-45002 contract on March 31, 2026. The contract, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000, encompasses the supply of Grainger items with a total contract value of $202.20. The purchase order represents a single line item transaction for one unit of unspecified Grainger products at a unit price of $202.20. Performance of this purchase order takes place in Dallas, Texas, where DART maintains operations.

The purchase order qualifies for exemption from Texas state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), reflecting the property's designation for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The State of Texas also maintains exemption from Federal Excise Taxes as applicable under the contract terms. Given the minimal contract value and single-unit order structure, this transaction represents a routine consumable or equipment procurement from the Grainger supply catalog rather than a comprehensive service delivery engagement.
