Contract 26279964

The Port of Houston Authority (K0011), a Texas state entity, awarded a purchase order (TXMAS-25-45002) to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on June 20, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $1,574.67. The purchase order, designated as PO No. 26279964, comprises two line items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000, with scheduled delivery on June 22, 2026. Both the ordering entity and the prime contractor's service location are based in the Houston, Texas area. The transaction qualifies for a Texas sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) as tangible personal property for exclusive use by the state entity.

The specific products supplied under this purchase order are Grainger industrial items, consistent with the supplier's core business as a national industrial and supply distributor. While the purchase order does not itemize specific product descriptions in the available documentation, the classification under NIGP Code 45000 indicates procurement of standard industrial supplies. The zero advance notice requirement (ARO) and two-day delivery window suggest routine, expedited replenishment of inventory rather than specialized or build-to-order materials. This award represents a transactional purchase order issued under an existing master contract framework rather than a comprehensive service delivery engagement.
