Cleaning Chemicals, Herbicides and Equipment

The Texas Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC), Agency 529, awarded a Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) contract to Morning Star Industries, Inc., a contractor based in Jensen Beach, Florida, for the procurement of cleaning and disinfection supplies. Specifically, the contract covers the acquisition of 120 units of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes, with a unit price of $5.98, resulting in a total contract value of $717.60. The purchase order was issued on December 8, 2025, with a specified delivery date of December 22, 2025, and a 14-day delivery window after receipt of order.

The contract falls under the TXMAS-20-7301 contract vehicle and is exempt from state and city sales tax under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the purchase is for the exclusive use of the State of Texas or its political subdivisions. The line item involves cleaning chemicals and equipment, with a specific focus on disinfecting wipes manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser. The contract's performance period appears to span from the award date until July 31, 2025, though there is a slight discrepancy in the dates that would require further clarification from the contracting organization.
