Tires and Tubes

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), a public transportation agency based in Dallas, Texas, has awarded a term contract to Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for the procurement of tires. The contract, identified as Term 26188874, was executed on October 30, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The initial purchase order, numbered 26188874, reflects a unit price of $481.96 per tire, with a total order value of $481.96 for one tire procured under NIGP Code 86307.

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, serves as the prime contractor for this tire supply arrangement. The contract is structured as a term agreement, which establishes the framework for DART's tire procurement needs over the contract period. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, DART is exempt from applicable sales and federal excise taxes. The relatively modest initial order value reflects a single tire purchase; however, the term structure allows for additional orders throughout the contract period extending to June 30, 2027.
