Vehicle Rental Services

The University of Houston at Clear Lake, a Texas state agency operating under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Stalewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The award was issued on December 23, 2025, with a contract value of $173.28 for a single line item. The Hertz Corporation is located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract is designated as Term 26205270 and is subject to Texas tax exemption provisions as the procurement is for exclusive use by the State of Texas.

The purchase order specifies one unit under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514, with a unit price of $173.28. While the contract award date is listed as December 23, 2025, the stated completion date of September 15, 2025 appears to reflect a data entry discrepancy. As a term contract, this award establishes a framework agreement for vehicle rental services to be utilized by the University of Houston at Clear Lake during the contract period. The transaction is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and state and local sales taxes under applicable Texas Tax Code provisions.
