Protective Cases

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) TXMAS contract (TXMAS-24-53001) provides a statewide procurement vehicle for protective cases, specifically high-quality air travel cases. These specialized cases are designed for professional and government use, featuring advanced characteristics such as stainless-steel bearing wheels, mesh lid storage, zippered compartments, and TSA-compliant key locks. The procurement vehicle enables Texas state agencies to acquire standardized, high-performance protective equipment through a streamlined contracting process.

The master IDV is managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Contract Management division, with Botach Inc. serving as the prime contractor. The contract's geographic coverage encompasses the entire state of Texas and is classified as a TXMAS (Texas Multiple Award Schedule) contract. The overall period of performance spans from February 8, 2024, to February 7, 2029, providing a five-year procurement window for participating state agencies. While specific total contract value information was not explicitly detailed, the vehicle enables strategic, best-value acquisitions under Texas Government Code procurement guidelines.

Under this IDV, an initial award was made to Botach Inc. by the Texas Department of Public Safety, specifically procuring eight specialized air travel cases. The award, valued at $3,260.24, with each case priced at $407.53, demonstrates the contract's utility for targeted, precise equipment procurement. The initial order has a delivery expectation of 15 days after receipt, with anticipated shipping to Austin and Houston addresses. While this represents the first documented award, the five-year contract period suggests potential for additional procurements by various Texas state agencies seeking standardized protective equipment.
