Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Houston Food Bank (A1191) located at 535 Portwall Street in Houston, awarded a vehicle rental services contract to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as Term Contract 975-C1, was awarded on December 5, 2025, under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The total contract value is $133.08, representing a single line item procured at a unit price of $133.08 per unit.

This purchase order, issued as an offline sale by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, reflects a vehicle rental services requirement for the Houston Food Bank, a state political subdivision. The contract structure indicates a term arrangement, though the completion date predates the award date in the available documentation, suggesting potential data entry inconsistencies. As a state entity, the Houston Food Bank is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The modest contract value and single unit designation indicate this represents a limited or specialized vehicle rental requirement rather than a comprehensive fleet management engagement.
