Continental US Ground - OB

The State of Texas, through the Health & Human Services Commission (Agency 529), awarded a purchase order to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based contractor, for Continental United States Ground shipping services. The contract, identified as 26319257, was executed on August 3, 2026, under NIGP Code 96224 and classified as a term contract. The deliverable consists of one unit of ground shipping services at a unit price of $10.46, resulting in a total contract value of $10.46.

The purchase order was issued with immediate delivery requirements, requiring zero days advance notice for order placement. Performance was scheduled for August 3, 2026, coinciding with the order issuance date. As a state procurement, the purchase is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), given that the services are for exclusive use by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions. The minimal contract value and single-unit quantity suggest this transaction represents either a nominal test order or a de minimis procurement activity processed through the state's existing term contract vehicle.
