Vehicle Rental Services

The University of Houston at Clear Lake (Agency 759) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The prime contractor, located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected to provide rental vehicles to support the University's operational needs. The contract was awarded on November 21, 2025, with an initial order value of $210.76 for one unit under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514. As a term contract, this award establishes the pricing and terms for potential future vehicle rental transactions throughout the contract period.

The purchase order was issued by the State of Texas, Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division, on behalf of the University of Houston at Clear Lake. The State of Texas qualifies for exemption from federal excise taxes and sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). While the initial cumulative value reflects the single line item ordered, the term contract structure indicates this is a standing agreement that may generate additional orders beyond the initial $210.76 transaction documented in Purchase Order 26204808.
