Print Shop Specialty Paper

The Texas State and Local Contract IDV (Term 645-A3) is a comprehensive procurement vehicle for specialized print shop paper products, designed to support various Texas state government agencies. The contract covers a wide range of paper specifications, including 60 lb and 70 lb text weight papers in multiple sizes (11x17, 19x25, 23x35, 25x38 inches), opaque smooth and offset textures, and specialty carbonless paper configurations. These paper products are intended for printing purposes across multiple state departments, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Transportation, Juvenile Justice Department, Parks & Wildlife Department, and Facilities Commission.

The master IDV is primarily awarded to Western - BRW Paper Co., Inc., a Texas-based paper supplier, and is managed by the Contract Management division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The contract is structured as a term contract with a consistent performance period from the individual award dates through June 30, 2026, providing state agencies with a standardized procurement mechanism. The geographic coverage is statewide, with delivery locations primarily in Austin, Texas, and the contract type allows for flexible, as-needed purchasing of specialized paper products to support government printing requirements.

The contract features multiple awards across various Texas state agencies, with cumulative values ranging from minimal amounts (e.g., $33 for Texas Parks & Wildlife) to more substantial procurements around $9,000-$12,000. Notable awards include a $62,174.28 contract with the Texas Department of Transportation for large-volume paper procurement, and several $9,384 to $9,660 contracts with the Health and Human Services Commission for specific paper specifications. The awards demonstrate a consistent pattern of targeted, low-volume purchases that collectively support the state's printing infrastructure, with each award maintaining similar contract structures and performance periods.
