Standard Overnight

Texas A&M AgriLife Research (Agency 556) awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. on August 3, 2026, for Standard Overnight delivery services under Contract 962-C1. The contractor, headquartered at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, D.C., was engaged to provide one unit of overnight shipping service with a total contract value of $166.37. The service was performed on the award date with zero days advance receipt of order notification. Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procurement was designated for exclusive use of the State of Texas.

This purchase order represents a single transaction for expedited delivery services classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224 as a term contract. The ordering action was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division with internal tracking number 235667. No cumulative contract value or multi-year contract period was indicated in the materials provided, suggesting this constituted a one-time shipment requirement rather than an ongoing service agreement.
