The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (Agency Code 696) awarded a purchase order totaling $657.36 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on June 20, 2026, under TXMAS-25-45002 contract authority. The order comprises two line items classified under NIGP Code 45000 (general commodities), with the first item priced at $657.36 per unit and the second item at no additional cost. Both items were designated for delivery to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division Maintenance Depot in Huntsville, Texas, with a delivery date of June 22, 2026. The prime contractor, Grainger, is located in Austin, Texas.

This offline sale purchase order represents a routine procurement of Grainger-supplied general commodities for use exclusively by the state agency. The State of Texas claimed exemption from sales tax under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and Federal Excise Taxes based on the governmental nature of the purchaser. The minimal contract value and abbreviated performance period—spanning two days from award to delivery—indicate this transaction was a discrete, time-sensitive procurement to meet operational requirements at the institutional maintenance facility.
