Welding Apparel TCI

The Texas State and Local Contract IDV Term 895-A1 is a comprehensive procurement vehicle focused exclusively on welding apparel and protective equipment. The contract covers a range of specialized welding personal protective equipment (PPE), including welder bibs, protective wear dispensers, welding gloves, welding masks, and welders' helmets. These items are categorized under specific UNSPSC and NIGP codes, indicating a targeted approach to supplying safety equipment for industrial and institutional welding operations.

The master IDV is managed by the CPA Contract Management and was originally established on June 5, 2008, with an exceptionally long performance period extending to December 31, 2099. TCI serves as the prime contractor for this term contract, which covers the state of Texas. While specific total contract value information is not explicitly provided, the contract's extended timeframe suggests a strategic, long-term procurement solution for welding safety equipment across Texas government entities.

Under this IDV, at least one notable contract award has been executed, specifically with WorkQuest, Inc. for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Institutional Division. This specific award, valued at $158.88, involved the procurement of 24 pairs of large-sized, gauntlet-type split leather welding gloves. The award demonstrates the contract's practical application in supplying specific safety equipment to state institutions, with precise specifications and delivery requirements. The contract includes beneficial terms such as freight for orders under $50 and state tax exemptions, providing cost-effective procurement options for Texas government agencies.
