Vehicle Rental Services

Texas Education Agency Vehicle Rental Services Contract Award

The State of Texas, through the Texas Education Agency (TEA), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services under Contract 975-C1. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected as the prime contractor for this procurement. The contract was formalized through Purchase Order Number 26204389, issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, on October 27, 2025. The contract carries a total value of $114.96 and is classified as a term agreement under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) commodity code 97514.

The contract represents a single line item purchase for one unit at a unit price of $114.96. As a State of Texas purchase, the transaction qualifies for exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and all state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), with the vehicle rental services secured exclusively for the use of the State of Texas or its political subdivisions. The discrepancy between the contract award date of October 27, 2025, and the completion date of September 15, 2025, suggests this may reflect a retroactive documentation of services or a data entry anomaly requiring clarification from the awarding agency.
