Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (Agency 716), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for Vehicle Rental Services. The contract, designated as Term 26204923, was executed on November 16, 2025, with a stated completion date of September 15, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will serve as the prime contractor under this arrangement. The contract value is $129.96, reflecting a single line item purchase order for one unit of commodity item "D" at a unit price of $129.96.

The purchase order was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts—Statewide Procurement Division under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, the contracting organization claimed exemption from all Federal Excise Taxes and from state and city sales taxes pursuant to Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The minimal contract value and single-unit transaction structure suggest this represents either an individual rental transaction or a one-time procurement event rather than an ongoing service delivery arrangement, despite the "term contract" classification.
