Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (Agency 781), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The purchase order, issued on November 13, 2025, represents an offline sale transaction valued at $36.29 for one unit under Contract 975-C1. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement. The contracting organization is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procurement is for the exclusive use of the State of Texas.

The line item designated as "B" under the contract corresponds to National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514 and was completed on September 15, 2025. While the purchase order reflects a modest transaction value, it represents a discrete delivery of vehicle rental services through the established term contract mechanism. The award demonstrates the State's utilization of statewide procurement contracts to facilitate vehicle rental acquisitions for higher education institutions within the state system.
