Chairs - Texas Correctional Industries - Ergonomic - TCI

The Texas State Contract 425-A8 is a comprehensive multi-award vehicle focused on providing ergonomic chairs and seating solutions for state government agencies. Specifically designed to procure office and work chairs, the vehicle covers metal and posture chairs with a primary emphasis on ergonomic design. The contract enables Texas state entities to efficiently acquire standardized, functional seating through a pre-negotiated procurement mechanism that streamlines the purchasing process for governmental organizations.

The contract is managed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Contract Management, with Texas Correctional Industries (TCI) serving as the prime contractor. The vehicle has an extensive performance period spanning from August 1, 2006, to December 31, 2099, indicating a long-term strategic procurement arrangement. Geographically limited to Texas, the contract is classified as a term contract and covers specific UNSPSC (56101720) and NIGP (42506, 42560) codes for precise chair categorization and procurement guidelines.

Under this IDV, at least one documented contract award exists, demonstrating the vehicle's operational utility. A specific example includes a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) purchase of 10 Breathe Chairs for its Beaumont administration, valued at $4,150.00. The award reflects the contract's structured approach to state government purchasing, incorporating specific delivery provisions and tax-exempt status. While detailed information about multiple awards is limited, the contract's long-term nature suggests ongoing opportunities for state agencies to leverage this procurement vehicle for ergonomic seating solutions.
