The State of Texas, through the Texas Education Agency (Agency 701), awarded a contract to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., headquartered at 900 7th Street NW, Suite 550, Washington, District of Columbia, for Continental United States Ground shipping services. The contract, designated 26322504, was executed on August 4, 2026, under a term contract vehicle referenced through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division. The line item procures a single Continental US Ground shipment classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 96224 at a unit price of $68.91, with total contract value of $68.91. Delivery was scheduled for August 4, 2026, with zero days after receipt of order (ARO).

The contract award represents a purchase order transaction for shipping services to support the operational needs of the Texas Education Agency. As a state procurement, the contract is exempt from federal excise taxes and state/city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The minimal contract value and immediate delivery timeline indicate this was a standalone purchase order rather than a master services agreement, utilizing an existing state term contract framework to facilitate expedited procurement of ground transportation services.
