Tires and Tubes

The State of Texas, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts – Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for the procurement of tires. The contracting organization is Capital Area Rural Transportation Systems (CARTS), located in Austin, Texas. The contract, designated as Term 26189428, was awarded on October 31, 2025, with a contract completion date of June 30, 2027. The total contract value is $162.98, representing a single tire procured under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 86305 at a unit price of $162.98. As a state purchase for a Texas political subdivision, the transaction is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes.

The tire is to be delivered to Capital Area Rural Transportation Systems at 2010 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas 78702. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement. The relatively modest contract value reflects a single-unit purchase order rather than a larger volume commitment, though the underlying term contract structure permits additional orders through the established June 30, 2027 expiration date.
