Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Education Agency (Agency 701) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, designated as 26205482, was executed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division on October 28, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida, will provide vehicle rental services under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The contract value is seventy-two dollars, representing a single purchase order (PO No. 26205482) for one unit of commodity "B" at a unit price of $72.58.

The purchase order was issued on October 28, 2025, with a noted completion date of September 15, 2025—a discrepancy that suggests either a data entry error or a retroactive order reconciliation. As a state agency procurement, the Texas Education Agency is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and all state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The minimal contract value and single-unit nature of this award indicate it represents either a standalone transaction or a supplemental order rather than a comprehensive vehicle rental agreement.
