Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Education Agency (TEA), through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 975-C1, was awarded on November 23, 2025, with a stated completion date of September 15, 2025. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this engagement. The contract value totals seventy-six dollars ($76.64), representing a single purchase order line item for one unit classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514.

The purchase order reflects a nominal transaction for commodity "C" under the vehicle rental services category. The Texas Education Agency claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the property was designated for exclusive use by the state agency. The contract is structured as a term agreement, indicating an established pricing and delivery framework, though the minimal cumulative value suggests this may represent either a trial order or a supplemental transaction within a broader vehicle rental services arrangement.
