The University of Texas System (Contracting Organization 720) awarded contract TXMAS-25-45003 to Sid Tool Co., Inc. dba MSC Industrial Supply Co., headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina, on July 11, 2026. The contract covers the procurement of industrial fasteners, specifically two units of 1/4" Grade 8 Zinc Plated Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) flat washers. The total contract value is $35.72, with scheduled delivery on July 13, 2026. The State of Texas asserts exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the purchased property is designated for exclusive use by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions.

This purchase order represents a straightforward procurement of commodity-grade fastening hardware by a state educational institution. The line items are identical in specification and quantity, with the second line item recorded at zero cost, likely representing a system entry adjustment or administrative correction. The contract fulfillment period spans two calendar days from award to scheduled delivery. Given the minimal contract value and the nature of the goods procured, this award reflects routine maintenance or repair supply acquisition rather than a capital project or substantial service delivery engagement.
