Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551) awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as 26205124, was established on December 3, 2025, with a cumulative value of $129.96. The procurement was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division and encompasses one line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514 for vehicle rental services.

The purchase order, numbered 26205124, specifies a single unit at a unit price of $129.96 and was designated for delivery to the United States. The Texas Department of Agriculture claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this transaction. A notable discrepancy exists between the stated completion date of September 15, 2025, and the award date of December 3, 2025, which may indicate either a data entry error or that the completion date reflects a prior contractual period. The relatively modest contract value suggests this may represent either a purchase order against an existing blanket term agreement or a limited-scope procurement for vehicle rental services.
