Household Kitchen Equipment

The Texas State and Local Contract Vehicle 045-A1 provides a comprehensive procurement mechanism for household kitchen and laundry equipment across state agencies. The vehicle covers a diverse range of products including upright cabinet freezers, domestic freezers, refrigerators, dishwashers, electric ranges, microwaves, washers, and dryers. Specifically, the contract supports the acquisition of various kitchen and laundry appliances through standardized procurement processes, enabling Texas state agencies to efficiently purchase necessary household equipment through a pre-negotiated contract.

The master vehicle is managed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Contract Management division, with a performance period from March 22, 2021, to August 31, 2026, covering the entire state of Texas. The prime contractor for this vehicle is Horny Toad Distributors, LLC, which provides the specified household equipment. While an overall contract value is not explicitly stated, the vehicle is structured as a term contract designed to facilitate streamlined procurement for state government entities, with unit-based pricing that varies by specific appliance type and configuration.

The associated Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) 045-A1 (Horny Toad Distributors, LLC) demonstrates the contract's practical implementation, with awards generated across multiple state agencies including the Department of Transportation, Health & Human Services Commission, Parks & Wildlife Department, and Department of Public Safety. These individual awards exhibit a consistent pattern of targeted, low-volume equipment purchases, with contract values ranging from modest amounts like $274 for a single microwave to $6,256.20 for multiple refrigerators. The IDV supports tax-exempt purchases under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), and provides a flexible procurement approach that allows agencies to meet their specific operational equipment needs efficiently.
