Re-Closable Plastic Bags and Can Liners

The Texas Term Contract 485-A1 is a statewide indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) focused on procuring re-closable plastic bags and can liners for various state agencies. The contract covers a comprehensive range of trash can liners and sealed closure bags, including sizes spanning 8-12 gallons, 20-30 gallons, 40-42 gallons, and 55-65 gallons. These products are packaged in various case quantities, ranging from 100 to 1,000 units per case, and are designed to meet the operational waste management needs of multiple Texas state government departments and agencies.

The master IDV is managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Contract Management division and is primarily awarded to Central Poly-Bag Corp., with one additional award to Interboro Packaging Corp. and Pollock Paper Distributors. The contract operates as a term contract with a consistent performance period from the individual award dates through October 31, 2025. The geographic coverage is statewide within Texas, serving agencies such as the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Military Department, and Texas Facilities Commission. The contract type is structured as a term contract, allowing participating agencies flexible procurement of standardized can liners and plastic bags.

The contract has generated multiple awards across state agencies, with cumulative values ranging from $38 to $23,022. Notable awards include a $23,022 procurement by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles for 900 cases of sealed closure bags, a $10,440 order from the Texas Department of Transportation for can liners in multiple sizes, and various smaller orders from agencies like the Texas Workforce Commission and Parks & Wildlife Department. The awards demonstrate a consistent pattern of low to moderate-value purchases, typically between $200 and $5,000, with tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract appears to prioritize standardized product specifications and competitive pricing across state government procurement needs.
