Tires and Tubes

San Patricio County, a Texas political subdivision, awarded a term contract to Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for the procurement of tires. The contract, designated as 863-C1, was executed on December 19, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The initial purchase order (26208389) reflects a contract value of $303.90 for one tire unit at a unit price of $303.90. The procurement falls under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 86307 and qualifies for state and local sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as well as federal excise tax exemption as a government purchase.

The commodities are designated for delivery to the San Patricio County Auditor's Office in Sinton, Texas, with the purchasing entity being the same office. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, serves as the prime contractor. The contract structure as a term agreement indicates potential for additional purchases beyond the initial order during the performance period extending through June 30, 2027. While the initial order value is modest at approximately $304, the underlying term contract framework suggests broader tire procurement authority for San Patricio County throughout the contract period.
