Continental US Ground - OB

The State of Texas, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. for Continental US Ground shipping services. The contract, identified as 26318386, was issued on August 3, 2026, on behalf of Texas A&M AgriLife Research (Agency 556). The prime contractor, FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., maintains a principal place of business at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, DC 20001. The contract value totals $35.89 for a single unit of ground transportation services classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224.

The purchase order represents an offline sale transaction with an immediate delivery date of August 3, 2026, and zero days allocated for Arrival and Readiness to Deliver. The procurement was classified as a term contract under contract number 962-C1. The State of Texas claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), citing the service's exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The modest contract value and single-unit quantity indicate this represents a discrete shipping transaction rather than an ongoing service agreement.
