Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Education Agency (TEA), a state purchasing organization, awarded a Term Contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, located in Estero, Florida. The contract was issued on December 14, 2025, under purchase order number 26203872 through the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The contract is structured as an Offline Sale Purchase Order under Term Contract 975-C1 with National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514.

The initial purchase order encompasses one unit of Item D at a unit price of $153.28, representing a cumulative contract value of $153.28. The order qualifies for state and city sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the property is being secured for the exclusive use of the State of Texas. The State of Texas is also exempt from Federal Excise Taxes except as otherwise specified in the contract terms. While a completion date of September 15, 2025, is referenced in the contract metadata, this date predates the award issuance and appears to be a data discrepancy that should be clarified with the contracting agency.
