Contract 26306060

On July 15, 2026, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Authority in Texas awarded a purchase order totaling $159.80 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. dba Grainger, an Austin-based supplier. The contract, designated TXMAS-25-45002 with government tracking number 26306060, was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division on behalf of DART's K2204 entity. The order encompasses two line items classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 45000, with the first item priced at $159.80 and the second item provided at no additional charge. Both items were specified for immediate delivery on the award date.

The contract represents a single purchase order transaction rather than an ongoing supply arrangement, with performance completed upon delivery on July 15, 2026. As a Texas political subdivision, DART is exempt from federal excise taxes and state sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). While the specific products are identified only as "Grainger items" in the procurement documentation, the classification under NIGP Code 45000 indicates supplies or materials consistent with general procurement categories. The minimal contract value and immediate delivery requirement indicate this was a routine operational purchase executed through the state's established procurement framework.
