MRO Supplies

On April 23, 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division awarded a purchase order (TXMAS-25-45004) to Fastenal Company, headquartered in Winona, Minnesota, for the provision of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) supplies. The contract value totals $710.70 for a single line item procurement. Shipment was directed to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division Maintenance Depot located in Huntsville, Texas. The purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division.

The MRO supplies procured under this purchase order were issued as an offline sale transaction without a specified contract period of performance. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) based on the property being acquired exclusively for state use. As a transactional purchase order rather than a comprehensive service or supply agreement, this award represents a discrete procurement action fulfilling immediate operational needs of the state correctional institution maintenance operations in the Huntsville area.
