TXMAS

As part of a nationwide trend to make governments leaner and outsource many functions of government, the 2002 Texas legislature sought to make it easier for State agencies and co-op members to purchase goods and services. The new program is called TXMAS (pronounced Tex Mas).

The existing system of obtaining bids for most services has proved to be cumbersome to both state agencies and government vendors. While the bidding process is still used for some of the purchasing functions of state and local governments, more and more purchasers are preferring to use TXMAS contracts as it is a much faster procurement tool. In fact, the Texas Comptrollers office encourages agencies to purchase from TXMAS.

The following graph shows the purchases that were procured under TXMAS contracts.

In order to get a contract, you must first have a federal GSA contract. The 360 company can help your business obtain a federal GSA contract.

Once you have obtained a GSA contract, we will work with the state to create a TXMAS (Texas Multiple Award Schedule) Contract that will allow you to sell the same products and services to over 300 state agencies and 1,700 co-op members in the state –again without having to bid on every project.

TXMAS contracts give you a tool that allows federal, state, and local government purchasers to buy from you, up to $1 Million, without having to go through the bidding process.
