1/4X1/4X120AUTOSHUTOFF SS ICE maker connector and 1 more item

The Texas Department of Public Safety awarded a purchase order totaling $13.38 to Sid Tool Co., Inc. doing business as MSC Industrial Supply Co. on July 11, 2026. The prime contractor, located in Davidson, North Carolina, supplied stainless steel ice maker connectors (1/4"x1/4"x120 auto shutoff) to fulfill the state's procurement requirements under contract TXMAS-25-45003. The order comprised two line items for identical connectors with a combined quantity of two units, scheduled for delivery on July 13, 2026.

This offline purchase order represents a minimal-value transaction consistent with routine facilities maintenance or operational support for state government operations. The State of Texas claimed exemption from sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) based on the property being secured for exclusive state use. The brief performance period, immediate delivery timeline, and modest contract value indicate this was a spot purchase to address an immediate operational need rather than a blanket or requirements-type agreement.
