Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Transportation, Division 601, awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation, located in Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as Term 26202207, was formalized through Purchase Order No. 26202207, issued on October 28, 2025, by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division. The procurement covers commodity classification NIGP Code 97514 and is classified as a term contract vehicle rental agreement. The contract value totals $38.32 for the single line item awarded.

Performance of this contract is designated for delivery within the United States. The contract completion date is listed as September 15, 2025, which predates the award date of October 28, 2025—a chronological inconsistency noted in the contract documentation. As a state entity, the Texas Department of Transportation is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), a status reflected in the purchase order terms. The limited contract value and single-unit procurement structure suggest this represents either a minimal administrative transaction or a data entry anomaly within the contracting system.
