Continental US Ground - RB

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi awarded a contract to FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., for Continental United States Ground shipping services under Contract 962-C1. The contract was issued by the State of Texas through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division on August 4, 2026. The purchase order (26326503) specifies delivery of ground shipping services with a unit price of $11.86 and a total contract value of $11.86. The delivery date was set for August 4, 2026, with zero days allowed for arrival.

FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., a contractor based in Washington, District of Columbia, is the prime contractor responsible for fulfilling the ground transportation services. The State of Texas claims exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the service is being secured for the exclusive use of a Texas political subdivision. Given the minimal contract value and delivery parameters, this appears to represent a single shipment transaction rather than an ongoing term contract despite the reference to Contract 962-C1 as a term contract vehicle.
