Tires and Tubes

Metro Transit Authority Harris County, a political subdivision of the State of Texas, awarded a term contract to Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for the procurement of tires. The contract, identified as Term 26208649, carries a cumulative value of $1,823.40 and runs from December 24, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26208649) issued on the award date specified one tire at a unit price of $1,823.40, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 86307, and is to be delivered to the Metro Transit Authority Harris County location in Houston, Texas. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC is based in Nashville, Tennessee.

The transaction qualifies for Texas state and local sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes as the property is being procured for the exclusive use of a Texas political subdivision. The contract structure as a term arrangement indicates the potential for additional tire purchases beyond the initial order throughout the contract period, though materials provided document only the single tire procurement executed on the award date.
