Upholstery Materials

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division has established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for upholstery materials, specifically panel textile fabrics. This master contract, identified as Term 265-A1, enables the procurement of specialized textile materials for institutional furnishings. The IDV focuses on acquiring vertical surface textile fabrics with various color patterns and attributes, primarily for use in modular furniture at the Stevenson Unit located in Cuero, Texas.

The master IDV is a term contract managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Contract Management division, with a performance period extending from the initial award through December 31, 2025. Two prime contractors have been engaged under this vehicle: Mayer Paetz Inc. dba Mayer Fabrics and C.F. Stinson, LLC. The contract covers the state of Texas and is structured to allow flexible procurement of upholstery materials with consistent unit pricing, typically ranging from $10.22 to $10.85 per yard. The contract type is designated as a term contract, providing the Texas Department of Criminal Justice with a pre-qualified sourcing mechanism for textile procurement.

The IDV has generated numerous contract awards throughout its performance period, with cumulative values ranging from as low as $21 to over $15,000 per individual award. The awards consistently target panel textile fabric for vertical surfaces, with quantities varying from 2 to 1,485 yards per order. Notable characteristics include tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), a standard 29-day delivery after receipt of order (ARO) timeline, and a focus on specific Genesis Style and Mayer Fabrics textile patterns. The contract awards demonstrate a strategic approach to decentralized, needs-based procurement for institutional textile materials, supporting the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's ongoing furnishing and infrastructure maintenance requirements.
