Cleaning Chemicals, Herbicides and Equipment

The State of Texas, through the Seventh Court of Appeals (Agency 227) located in Amarillo, awarded a purchase order to Morning Star Industries, Inc., a contractor based in Jensen Beach, Florida, under the TXMAS (Texas Multiple Award Schedule) contract vehicle TXMAS-20-7301. The award, issued on February 6, 2026, is for the procurement of cleaning and facility maintenance supplies, specifically three cartons of Puffs brand facial white tissue (commodity code PGC35038, manufactured by Procter and Gamble). The total contract value is $149.43, with a unit price of $49.81 per carton. Delivery was scheduled for February 20, 2026, with an agreed-upon delivery timeframe of 14 days after receipt of order.

The purchase order was executed by Dorothy Roberts, the purchasing agent for the Seventh Court of Appeals, and carries internal tracking number PO# 227-26-37. As the procuring entity is a state political subdivision, the State of Texas claims exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4). While the completion date listed in the contract record is July 31, 2025, the purchase order documentation reflects a February 2026 award and delivery date, indicating this represents a single commodity procurement transaction under an existing multiple award schedule contract.
