Continental US Ground - OB

The State of Texas, through Texas A&M AgriLife Research (Agency 556), awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. for Continental United States ground shipping services under contract 962-C1. The award was issued on August 3, 2026, with a contract value of $6.36. The contractor is located at 900 7th Street Northwest, Suite 550, Washington, District of Columbia 20001. This purchase order represents a single unit of ground shipping services procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division and is classified as a term contract under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 96224.

Performance under this purchase order was required as of the award date of August 3, 2026, with zero days advance notice required. The State of Texas asserts exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procurement is designated for the exclusive use of the State of Texas or its political subdivisions. The minimal contract value and single-unit scope indicate this represents a discrete, limited-duration shipping transaction rather than an ongoing service relationship.
