Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Houston Food Bank (A1191), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract was executed on December 25, 2025, with a contract value of $105.64. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will provide services to the Houston Food Bank's location at 535 Portwall Street, Houston, Texas 77029. The procurement was administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division under applicable state tax exemption provisions.

The purchase order documents a single line item identified as commodity code "C" under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, with one unit priced at $105.64. While the contract completion date is noted as September 15, 2025—preceding the award date—this discrepancy suggests a potential data entry anomaly. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this procurement of tangible personal property for exclusive state entity use.
