On October 21, 2026, this screen displayed 80 items. The first row shows 150 units at $0.96 each, totaling $144.00, awarded February 11, 2026 to NOBLE SUPPLY & LOGISTICS, LLC. A separate row on the same date shows 87 units and $83.52. Read each row with its delivery order and line item rather than treating every repeated contract number as the same purchase.
The screenshot shows the first part of the list. Continue down the grid to compare earlier purchases. For example, the July 22, 2025 row shows 3,218 units at $0.96, totaling $3,089.28. Quantities and dates provide context for a price comparison; a historical price is not a current supplier quotation.
