Safety Glasses Smoke

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), a state agency, awarded contract TXMAS-25-45002 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger for the procurement of safety eyewear. The contract, valued at $2,486.40, covers the supply of 240 units of Smith Wesson Safety Glasses Smoke (Model 3WLK5, MPN 19824) at a unit price of $10.36 per pair. The award was issued on June 2, 2026, with delivery scheduled for June 9, 2026, establishing a seven-day performance window.

Delivery of the ordered safety glasses was directed to the Seguin Regional Distribution Center under the supervision of Roland Ramon, with Paul Brawn serving as the purchasing agent for TxDOT's statewide procurement division. The purchase order specifies that only the exact quantity ordered shall be shipped, with any overages to be returned at the vendor's expense or treated as a gift to the state. Early delivery was acceptable; however, partial shipments required pre-approval from the Seguin Regional Distribution Center. The State of Texas claimed exemption from sales tax and federal excise taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).
