Continental US Ground - OB

The City of Austin, Texas (M2270) awarded a term contract (962-C1) to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., headquartered in Washington, D.C., for Continental United States ground shipping services. The contract was executed on August 3, 2026, with a cumulative value of $36.08. The procurement covers one unit of ground shipping at a unit price of $36.08, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) commodity code 96224. The purchase order (26318748) was issued with a delivery date of August 3, 2026, and carried zero days advance request for order timing.

As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, the City of Austin secured these shipping services exempt from state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract documents do not specify an extended performance period beyond the initial August 3, 2026 transaction date, nor do they identify a specific geographic place of performance distinct from the service scope. The low contract value and single-unit line item structure suggest this represents a discrete shipping transaction executed through an existing term contract vehicle rather than a comprehensive shipping arrangement with ongoing deliveries.
