The contract is managed by CPA Contract Management and was established on June 5, 2008, with an extensive performance period through December 31, 2099. TCI serves as the prime contractor for this term contract, which provides coverage exclusively for the state of Texas.

The master Individual Delivery Vehicle (IDV) includes at least one notable award, specifically a contract with WorkQuest, Inc. for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Institutional Division.

The contract offers beneficial terms such as freight for orders under $50 and state tax exemptions, providing cost-effective procurement options for Texas government agencies and demonstrating the practical application of the contract in supplying precise safety equipment specifications.
