Vehicle Rental Services

The University of Houston at Clear Lake, a Texas state agency operating under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, designated as Term 26204559 with NIGP Code 97514, was formalized through Purchase Order No. 26204559 issued on November 10, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this arrangement.

The contract documents indicate a purchase order total of $0.00, reflecting either a placeholder document or a framework agreement establishing terms for future vehicle rental services as needed by the University of Houston at Clear Lake. The stated completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date of November 10, 2025, suggesting potential discrepancies in the contract documentation or retroactive authorization. The purchase order includes applicable sales tax exemptions in accordance with Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), recognizing the tax-exempt status of the State of Texas as the end-user of these vehicle rental services.
