Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through ESC Region 1 - E1083 (Education Service Center Region 1), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The award was issued on October 27, 2025, with a contract value of $165.44. The purchasing entity executed this procurement through the Statewide Procurement Division of Texas, with the service delivery and billing directed to ESC Region 1's facility located in Edinburg, Texas. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor under Term Contract 975-C1.

The purchase order documents a single unit of commodity code 97514 under the vehicle rental services category, priced at $165.44 per unit. The State of Texas asserted exemption from federal excise taxes and sales taxes pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), citing the commodity's exclusive use by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions. The contract documentation indicates no option periods, renewal provisions, or set-aside designations. A completion date of September 15, 2025, is noted in the contract record, though this predates the award date of October 27, 2025, suggesting a potential administrative dating discrepancy in the available documentation.
