Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551) has awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as 26204213, was awarded on October 27, 2025, with a cumulative contract value of $191.60. The purchase order (PO No. 26204213) was issued by the State of Texas, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division, and encompasses a single line item designated as "C" at a unit price of $191.60.

The contract documentation indicates a completion date of September 15, 2025, though this predates the award date, suggesting this may reflect an administrative closing or adjustment date rather than the actual service delivery period. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4). The shipping and delivery destination is specified as the United States. Given the vehicle rental services classification and minimal contract value, this award likely represents a single rental transaction or administrative adjustment rather than an ongoing service engagement.
