Cleaning Chemicals, Herbicides and Equipment

The Texas Historical Commission (Agency 808) awarded a contract to Morning Star Industries, Inc., a Florida-based contractor, for the procurement of cleaning chemicals and herbicides under Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) Contract TXMAS-20-7301. The contract, issued on March 2, 2026, has a total value of $359.67 and covers the supply of one 2.5-gallon container of Esplanade EZ non-selective herbicide manufactured by Bayer Cropscience. This herbicide is designed for the control of emerged and pre-emerged grasses and broadleaf weeds in non-crop areas.

Delivery of the product is scheduled for Goodnight Ranch, located at 4989 County Road 25 in Clarendon, Texas, with an expected delivery date of March 12, 2026, within 10 days of order receipt. The purchasing agent for the Texas Historical Commission is Christi Duve, and the primary contact at the delivery location is Hope Hanson. The State of Texas claims exemption from all federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The completion date listed in the contract record is July 31, 2025, which appears to precede the award date and may indicate a data entry discrepancy.
