Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contracting organization is East Texas A&M University (Agency 751), with the purchase order issued on December 22, 2025, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division. The contract covers a single line item (Commodity Code 97514) designated as item "C" under Contract 975-C1, with a total contract value of $38.32 for one unit at a unit price of $38.32. Performance of the contract is directed to the United States, with the State of Texas claiming exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and sales tax under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4).

The contract award reflects a minimal transaction value, suggesting this represents either a nominal order quantity or a preliminary purchase order under the broader term contract framework. The award date of December 22, 2025, precedes the listed completion date of September 15, 2025, which appears inconsistent with standard contract chronology and may indicate data entry discrepancies or refer to a different contract reference period. As a term contract, this award establishes The Hertz Corporation as the vehicle rental services provider for East Texas A&M University's requirements, with pricing and terms to govern future orders within the contract's specified duration.
