Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Texas Education Agency (TEA), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 975-C1 with purchase order number 26202334, was executed on October 25, 2025, with a total contract value of $124.08. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will serve as the prime contractor for this procurement, which was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division.

The contract encompasses vehicle rental services procured under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514 and consists of one unit of Item F at a unit price of $124.08. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and all state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4), as the vehicles are being secured for the exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The contract documentation indicates a completion date of September 15, 2025; however, this predates the award date of October 25, 2025, suggesting a potential data discrepancy in the available records.
