Electrical Equipment and Supplies

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) Contract 285-A1 provides a comprehensive procurement mechanism for electrical equipment and supplies, with a primary focus on LED luminaires, traffic signal lamps, and related electrical components. The contract covers a diverse range of products including LED luminaires with varying wattages (150W, 250W, and 400W) compatible with different voltage systems (120/240V and 480V), traffic signal lamps in multiple colors and configurations (red, yellow, green, and left arrow variants), and additional electrical accessories such as wall plates, receptacles, and electrical boxes.

The master IDV is awarded to TraStar, Inc., a Richardson, Texas-based contractor, with the contract managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Contract Management division. The contract is a term contract with a performance period extending from the initial award date through June 30, 2026, covering the state of Texas. The contract type allows for flexible procurement of electrical infrastructure components, with goods to be delivered to various TxDOT regional distribution centers across the state, including locations in Seguin, Athens, and Fort Worth.

Under this IDV, multiple contract awards have been executed, totaling numerous individual procurements with cumulative values ranging from a few hundred to over $170,000. These awards consistently demonstrate a strategic approach to infrastructure maintenance and improvement, with specific line items addressing traffic signal lamp replacements, LED luminaire upgrades, and electrical supply acquisitions. The contract awards span from August 2020 to projected awards in 2025, with each order typically processed as a tax-exempt purchase under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), and designated for exclusive state use. The contract structure enables TxDOT to efficiently acquire specialized electrical equipment through a pre-negotiated, standardized procurement mechanism.
