The master IDV is managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Contract Management, with TCI serving as the prime contractor. The contract has an extensive performance period spanning from July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2099, indicating a long-term strategic sourcing approach. Geographically limited to the state of Texas, the contract is structured as a term contract, allowing state and local entities flexible access to standardized equipment procurement options.

Under this IDV, at least one documented award exists, specifically contract 25113767 issued by the Texas State Auditors Office. This award, valued at $924, involved the procurement of two custom podiums made from red oak with specific dimensional requirements (28 inches wide, 22 inches deep, 49 inches high). While the available data suggests limited award activity, the contract's extended timeline and broad equipment categories indicate potential for future targeted acquisitions by Texas governmental and educational entities.
