Continental US Ground - OB

The University of Texas at Austin (Agency 721) awarded contract 26323449 to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., a firm headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia, for Continental United States ground shipping services. The contract was executed on August 4, 2026, under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The single purchase order encompasses one unit of ground shipping services at a unit price of $172.04, resulting in a total contract value of $172.04. Delivery was scheduled for August 4, 2026, with no advance notice requirement from the carrier.

The State of Texas exempted itself from Federal Excise Taxes and applicable sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procured services are designated for exclusive use by the state. This ground shipping service contract was issued as an offline sale purchase order, indicating a one-time transactional arrangement rather than an ongoing service delivery. The minimal contract value and singular shipment suggest this was a spot purchase order fulfilling a discrete logistical requirement for the University of Texas at Austin.
