Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through East Texas A&M University (Agency 751), awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as Term 26204751, was formalized through Purchase Order Number 26204751 issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division on December 25, 2025. The contract encompasses a single line item (commodity code "B") under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, with a total contract value of $143.96.

The initial purchase order reflects a quantity of one unit at a unit price of $143.96, representing the first drawdown against the term contract. While the award date is listed as December 25, 2025, the purchase order completion date is stated as September 15, 2025, which appears to reflect the service delivery period rather than contract execution. The State of Texas claims 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 use by the State.
