Innersprings

The 565-A1 vehicle is a specialized procurement mechanism for acquiring innerspring mattress units and components designed specifically for institutional applications. This contract vehicle enables the procurement of various innerspring configurations with precise specifications, including units with different coil counts and dimensions ranging from 30 to 52 inches in width and 70 to 83 inches in length. The innerspring units sourced through this vehicle are delivered to the Wynne Unit Mattress Factory in Huntsville, Texas, and support the infrastructure and operational needs of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division. The vehicle operates under a tax-exempt status pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), providing flexible purchasing authority for standardized mattress components as needed throughout the contract term.

The master IDV designated as 565-A1 (Leggett & Platt, Incorporated) is awarded to Leggett & Platt, Incorporated under the management and administration of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Contract Management division. This term contract covers the state of Texas and operates under a performance period extending from the initial award date through April 30, 2026, with the vehicle's overall completion date established as April 30, 2027. As a term contract, this vehicle type provides indefinite delivery capability, allowing multiple purchases of innerspring units throughout its duration with a standard delivery requirement of 14 days after receipt of order.

Since the inception of procurement activity in July 2022, a minimum of 17 separate contract awards have been executed under the IDV, generating cumulative contract values totaling approximately $74,292.86. Individual award values range from $153 to $25,099.50, reflecting variations in order volumes and innerspring specifications. Unit pricing across all awards remains consistent, ranging from $36.50 to $70.80 per unit depending on the specific coil count and dimensional requirements of each innerspring configuration. This procurement pattern demonstrates a strategic, ongoing approach to maintaining adequate bedding inventory for the state's correctional facilities with standardized sourcing and delivery procedures.
