Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Education Agency (TEA), a state agency under the Comptroller of Public Accounts, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract was executed on December 26, 2025, with The Hertz Corporation maintaining its principal place of business at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract governs the provision of vehicle rental services to support the operational needs of the State of Texas and its political subdivisions, with performance occurring as required by the Texas Education Agency.

The contract award has a total value of $557.86 for a single line item unit, classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The term contract structure, designated as Contract 975-C1, establishes the framework for vehicle rental service delivery, though the completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date, suggesting this represents a retroactive documentation or correction of prior procurement activity. The State of Texas asserted exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the vehicle rental services are procured for exclusive use by the state or its political subdivisions.
