Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 26205650, was awarded on December 25, 2025, with a cumulative value of forty-one dollars ($41.36). The purchase order (PO No. 26205650) was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and directed to The Hertz Corporation's location at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928. The order consists of a single line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, with one unit procured at a unit price of $41.36.

This term contract represents a minimal-value procurement for vehicle rental services to support the operational needs of the Department of Family and Protective Services. The State of Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this purchase of tangible personal property designated for exclusive state use. Given the contract completion date of September 15, 2025—which precedes the award date of December 25, 2025—this appears to be a retroactive documentation of a prior transaction rather than a forward-looking procurement arrangement.
