Continental US Ground - OB

The State of Texas, Health & Human Services Commission (Agency 529) awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. on August 3, 2026, for Continental United States ground shipping services under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224. The contract, identified as 26318593, represents a term contract vehicle for logistics services. FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., located at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, D.C., serves as the prime contractor responsible for fulfilling the shipping requirements. The contract value totals $232.15 for one unit of ground shipping service procured at a unit price of $232.15, with a delivery date of August 3, 2026 and zero days required for arrival after order placement.

The purchase order qualifies for Texas state and local sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and Federal Excise Tax exemption, reflecting the tax-exempt status afforded to the State of Texas and its political subdivisions. The ground shipping service is applicable to continental United States destinations, with the order placed through the standard offline purchase order process. Given the single-unit procurement and nominal contract value, this purchase order represents a discrete shipping transaction rather than a broader service arrangement, though it was issued under an existing term contract framework that allows for future similar procurements.
