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 prime contractor, headquartered in Estero, Florida, was tasked with providing one unit of commodity item "D" under Term Contract 975-C1. The contract was executed on November 7, 2025, with a total cumulative value of thirty-eight dollars and thirty-two cents ($38.32). This procurement was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, and the purchase order was authorized under the State of Texas's federal excise tax exemption and sales tax exemption provisions.

The contract period of performance reflects an anomalous completion date of September 15, 2025, which precedes the award date of November 7, 2025. The minimal contract value and single-unit order structure suggests this transaction may represent either a renewal of an existing term contract or a final purchase order under a broader vehicle rental services agreement. The purchase order documentation confirms the commodity was designated for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision, with no additional taxes or fees applied due to the state's tax-exempt status.
