Continental US Ground - OB

The State of Texas Health & Human Services Commission (Agency 529) awarded a purchase order (No. 26318319) to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. on August 3, 2026, for Continental United States ground shipping services. The contract, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224 as a term contract, carries a total value of $62.77 for a single unit of service. FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., headquartered at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, D.C., serves as the prime contractor. The delivery date specified in the purchase order is August 3, 2026, with zero days allowed after receipt of order for fulfillment.

The transaction reflects a straightforward procurement of ground transportation services within the Continental United States. As a state purchase, Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for purchases made for exclusive state use. The purchase order carries an internal tracking number of 237741 and does not indicate additional options, renewals, or set-asides. The minimal contract value and expedited delivery timeline suggest this represents a discrete, time-sensitive shipping requirement rather than a comprehensive transportation services agreement.
