The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), through its Traffic Safety Division, awarded contract 27007088 to W.W. Grainger, Inc. (dba Grainger) on October 12, 2026, under the TxSmartBuy statewide procurement program (contract framework TXMAS-25-45002). The contract, valued at $296.60, covers the procurement of lithium batteries—specifically ten packages of Duracell Procell CR123 3-volt direct current batteries with 1600 milliamp-hour capacity (12-pack units)—at a unit price of $29.66 per package. Delivery was scheduled for October 16, 2026, with an expedited four-day delivery window approved by TxDOT.

Performance of this contract was coordinated through TxDOT's Austin location, with Melanie Littlefield designated as the delivery contact. The batteries were procured for official state use, rendering the purchase exempt from federal excise taxes and state sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract required strict adherence to exact quantities ordered, with partial shipments subject to pre-approval. According to the purchase order documentation, the vendor was obligated to request price matching from Grainger to align with TxSmartBuy pricing terms, though documentation indicates potential vendor coordination between Bullchase, Inc., and Grainger in fulfillment of this order.
