Cleaning Chemicals, Herbicides and Equipment

The Texas Historical Commission awarded a Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) contract to Morning Star Industries, Inc. for cleaning chemicals and equipment. The specific procurement involves 16 units of Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refill, Crisp Clean, Pink, 1 Gallon Bottles manufactured by Colgate Palmolive, with each unit priced at $21.99, resulting in a total order value of $351.84. The purchase order (PO No. 26157327) was issued on January 13, 2026, with a planned delivery date of January 27, 2026, to the San Felipe de Austin site located at 220 2nd Street in San Felipe, Texas.

The contract is processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division under contract number TXMAS-20-7301. The purchase is tax-exempt under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the property is secured for exclusive state use. The contractor, Morning Star Industries, Inc., is based in Jensen Beach, Florida, and will deliver the hand soap refills with a 14-day after receipt of order (ARO) timeline. While the contract's completion date is listed as July 31, 2025, which appears to be an administrative anomaly, the immediate procurement supports the Texas Historical Commission's operational requirements.
