Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, was awarded a term contract by the Metro Transit Authority Harris County (K1018), a Texas political subdivision, for the supply of tires. The contract was awarded on April 23, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The contract covers procurement of one tire unit at a unit price of $2,616.80, resulting in a cumulative contract value of $2,616.80. Performance and delivery is directed to the Metro Transit Authority Harris County facility in Houston, Texas. The procurement was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

This term contract falls under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 86305 for tire procurement and represents a direct purchase order transaction. The contract structure includes no option periods, renewal provisions, or set-aside requirements. As a state purchase by a Texas political subdivision, the transaction qualifies for applicable tax exemptions. The relatively modest contract value and single-unit purchase indicate this represents a routine maintenance or replacement tire procurement for the transit authority's fleet operations.
