Contract 26301228

The State of Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division (TDCJ ITD) awarded contract TXMAS-25-45002 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger on July 14, 2026. This purchase order (No. 26301228) was issued under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division and procured two line items classified under NIGP Code 45000. The contract was awarded to Grainger, with a supplier location in Austin, Texas, for delivery to the TDCJ ITD Maintenance Depot in Huntsville, Texas. The total contract value is $6.55, with the first line item priced at $6.55 and the second line item at no charge. Both items were scheduled for delivery on July 14, 2026 with zero days after receipt of order.

While the specific product descriptions for the Grainger items are not detailed in the materials provided, the purchase order was classified as an offline sale and conducted under existing statewide procurement authority. The State of Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the items were being purchased exclusively for use by the State of Texas. The minimal contract value and immediate delivery timeline suggest this was a routine maintenance or operational supply procurement rather than a comprehensive service agreement.
