Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (Agency 716), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contractor, located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected to provide rental vehicles in support of state operations. The contract was awarded on November 7, 2025, with a cumulative contract value of $38.32. The procurement was conducted under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514 and processed as an Offline Sale Purchase Order through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division.

The initial order under this term contract encompasses a single line item valued at $38.32 per unit, with one unit ordered. The contract is subject to Texas sales tax exemption provisions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the property is being procured for exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The State of Texas is exempt from all applicable Federal Excise Taxes as specified in the contract terms. While the contract award date is noted as November 7, 2025, the stated completion date of September 15, 2025, appears inconsistent with standard contract chronology and should be clarified with the contracting organization.
