The contract, designated as Term 26207672, was awarded on November 5, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26207672) reflects a cumulative value of $607.80 for one tire at a unit price of $607.80. Delivery is designated for Capital Area Rural Transportation Systems' location at 2010 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas 78702. The transaction is executed through the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division and benefits from Texas sales tax exemption provisions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

This contract award represents a term procurement vehicle established under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 86307 for tire products. The structure enables Capital Area Rural Transportation Systems to procure tires on an as-needed basis throughout the contract period, with pricing established at the unit level. The relatively modest initial order value suggests this term contract functions as a standing agreement for potential future tire purchases by the transportation system, with pricing and delivery terms already negotiated and confirmed.
