Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger, a supplies and equipment distributor headquartered at 7950 Research Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78758-8425. The purchase order (PO No. 26235692) was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division under existing contract TXMAS-25-45002, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000. The order consists of two line items for Grainger items, with the first line item priced at $72.63 for one unit and the second line item valued at no cost.

The transaction represents a single purchase order rather than a multi-year contract vehicle. Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the materials were procured for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The specific products or services procured are identified generically as "Grainger items" in the contracting documentation, with performance anticipated in the Austin, Texas area based on the contractor's registered location.
