The contract, designated as 863-C1, was awarded on December 23, 2025, and extends through June 30, 2027. The prime contractor, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.

As a state procurement, the contract is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) due to the property being secured for exclusive use by the State of Texas. The delivery location is specified as the United States. The purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, indicating this is a centralized state procurement action. The initial order quantity of one tire suggests this may represent either a sample order or the first increment under the broader term contract agreement established between the State and the contractor.
