Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services under contract number 975-C1. The award was issued on November 12, 2025, with a contract value of $67.32. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this agreement. The purchase order (26206073) covers one unit of the specified commodity under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514, classified as vehicle rental services.

The contract represents a statewide procurement arrangement managed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and is designated for exclusive use by the State of Texas or Texas political subdivisions. The State of Texas claims a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4). While the stated completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date of November 12, 2025, the contract structure as a term agreement indicates an ongoing arrangement available for utilization by eligible state entities. The modest contract value and single-unit purchase suggest this may represent an initial or limited procurement action under a broader term contract framework.
