SZ 8 2"bandtop GRY 1PR red RAM goatskin weld GLV

Lamar State College - Port Arthur (Texas State Agency 788) awarded a purchase order to Sid Tool Co., Inc., doing business as MSC Industrial Supply Co., on September 21, 2026, under Contract TXMAS-25-45003. The contractor, located in Davidson, North Carolina, was engaged to supply one pair of Size 8, 2-inch Bandtop Gray welding gloves with red RAM goatskin construction (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 34574). The total contract value is $81.12, reflecting a unit price of $81.12 per pair. The scheduled delivery date was September 23, 2026.

The State of Texas claims a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procured property is designated for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision. This procurement represents a routine supply purchase of personal protective equipment for welding operations, executed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division. The relatively modest contract value and limited scope indicate this was a spot purchase or small order fulfillment rather than a comprehensive supply agreement.
