Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through Texas A&M University (contracting organization 711), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor under contract designation 26206086. The contract was executed as an offline sale purchase order issued on November 30, 2025, procured under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division with a total contract value of $76.64. The purchase order encompasses one line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, reflecting a single unit priced at $76.64.

The contract period of performance reflects an anomalous date sequence, with a stated completion date of September 15, 2025, preceding the award date of November 30, 2025, suggesting potential data entry error or administrative reclassification. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise tax and sales tax under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The minimal contract value and single-unit procurement structure indicate this award represents either a supplemental purchase, a limited-scope transaction, or an administrative transaction processed through the statewide procurement framework rather than a substantial vehicle rental services engagement.
