Paper Towel C-Fold

The Texas Department of Agriculture awarded a purchase order to Morning Star Industries, Inc. on October 5, 2026, for the procurement of paper towel products. The contract, identified as TXMAS-26-48501, covers ten cartons of C-Fold paper towels manufactured under the Ability One program. The total contract value is $603.10, with a unit price of $60.31 per carton. Morning Star Industries, Inc., based in Jensen Beach, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this award. Billing is directed to the Stephen F. Austin Building in Austin, Texas, with delivery specified to the Texas Department of Agriculture Region 2 Office in Dallas, Texas.

The purchase order establishes a delivery schedule of forty-five days from the October 5, 2026 order date, with a scheduled delivery date of November 19, 2026. The Texas Department of Agriculture, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division, executed this procurement. The State of Texas has applied a tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the supplies are designated for exclusive use by a state agency. The relatively short performance period and specific delivery location indicate this represents a routine supply replenishment requirement for departmental operations.
