Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC has been awarded a term contract by Capital Area Rural Transportation Systems (CARTS), a Texas political subdivision, for the supply of tires. The contract, designated as Term 26189142, was executed on October 31, 2025, and is scheduled for completion on June 30, 2027. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26189142) specifies delivery of one tire unit at a unit price of $102.46, with a cumulative contract value of $102.46. The contractor is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, while the purchasing organization, CARTS, is located in Austin, Texas. Delivery is designated for CARTS' facility at 2010 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas 78702.

This procurement falls under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 86305 and was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division. As the property is secured for exclusive use by a Texas political subdivision, the State of Texas claims exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4). The term contract structure indicates potential for additional orders throughout the performance period, though the initial purchase reflects a single tire requirement at the time of award.
