The State of Texas, through the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TAMU TTI), awarded a purchase order to Sid Tool Co., Inc., doing business as MSC Industrial Supply Co., for the procurement of industrial hardware. The contract, identified as TXMAS-25-45003 and Purchase Order No. 26216870, was issued on March 24, 2026. The prime contractor, located in Davidson, North Carolina, is supplying SAE Size 248 X 1/2 stainless steel wormgear quick release clamps to support state operations. The total contract value is $55.92, with the order comprised of two line items for identical clamps, with the first unit priced at $55.92 and the second unit at no cost.

This purchase order represents a routine procurement transaction for mechanical components required by the state agency. As a state procurement, the transaction is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The delivery location and specific end-use application within TAMU TTI have not been detailed in the available documentation. The relatively modest contract value and single-purchase nature of the award indicate this is a discrete procurement to fulfill an immediate operational requirement rather than an ongoing supply agreement.
