Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530), awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as Term 26204877, was awarded on December 23, 2025, with a contract value of thirty-eight dollars ($38.32). The purchase order documentation indicates a single line item under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514, with a quantity of one unit priced at $38.32 each. The contracting organization asserted a Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) exemption from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes based on the procurement being for exclusive use by a state agency.

The stated completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date, which indicates this may represent a retroactive or corrective action purchase order rather than a forward-looking commitment. Given the minimal contract value and single-unit transaction structure, this award appears to represent a discrete vehicle rental service requirement or adjustment to an existing term contract vehicle rental arrangement rather than an ongoing service delivery program. The purchase order was issued by the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, with internal tracking number 371269345.
