Tires and Tubes

The University of Texas at Arlington (Agency 714) has awarded a term contract to Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for the procurement of tires. The contract was awarded on November 14, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The total contract value is $1,071.20, representing a single tire purchase at a unit price of $1,071.20. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC is headquartered at 200 4th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee. The procurement was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 86305.

As a state entity, the University of Texas at Arlington is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract term extends through June 30, 2027, providing the university with a defined procurement arrangement for tire products during this period. The relatively modest cumulative value of this award suggests it may represent either an initial order under a broader term agreement or a specific tactical procurement need within the institution's vehicle maintenance operations.
