Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for Vehicle Rental Services. The contract, identified as 26203020, was issued via Purchase Order No. 26203020 on December 20, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, with principal place of business at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928, serves as the prime contractor for this engagement. The total contract value is thirty-eight dollars ($38.32), representing a single line item transaction for one unit of commodity designated as "D" under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, priced at $38.32 per unit.

The contract reflects a minimal transaction with a completion date of September 15, 2025, which predates the award date, suggesting this purchase order documents a retroactive procurement action or administrative processing of a prior commitment. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and asserted a state and city sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) based on the property being secured for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The limited contract value and single-unit scope indicate this represents a supplemental or ancillary vehicle rental service requirement rather than a comprehensive fleet management arrangement.
