Continental US Ground - RB

The University of Texas System (Agency 720) awarded a contract to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. for Continental United States ground shipping services. The purchase order, issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division on August 4, 2026, carries a contract value of $6.48 and references Contract 962-C1 as a term contract vehicle. The prime contractor, FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., maintains its principal place of business at 900 7th Street Northwest, Suite 550, Washington, District of Columbia 20001. The service classification falls under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224 for ground transportation services.

The single line item orders one unit of Continental US Ground shipping at a unit price of $6.48, with delivery required by August 4, 2026, and zero days advance order requirement. As a procurement executed by a Texas political subdivision, the contract qualifies for state tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The relatively modest contract value and immediate delivery date suggest this represents either a minor shipment or a nominal transaction processed through the statewide procurement framework available to University of Texas System entities.
