Continental US Ground - OB

The Texas Department of Transportation (Agency 601), acting through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. on August 3, 2026, for Continental United States ground shipping services. The contract was executed under the existing term contract 962-C1 and assigned purchase order number 26319170. The prime contractor, FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., is headquartered at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, DC. The service falls under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224 and consists of a single shipment unit at a unit price of $27.98, resulting in a total contract value of $27.98. Delivery was scheduled for August 3, 2026, with zero days advance notice required.

The State of Texas claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this procurement, as the service is designated for exclusive use by the state. The purchase order was likewise exempted from federal excise taxes, except as otherwise specified in the underlying term contract. The specific place of performance and extent of the performance period are not detailed in the available documentation, though the service procurement appears to constitute a discrete shipping transaction rather than an ongoing service engagement.
