Vehicle Rental Services

Texas A&M University - 711, acting as the contracting organization for the State of Texas, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected as the prime contractor under contract number 975-C1. The purchase order (PO No. 26206391) was issued on December 29, 2025, with an internal tracking number of 373609132 and processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division.

The contract covers vehicle rental services under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The initial purchase order reflects a line item quantity of one unit at a unit price of $36.29, resulting in a total order value of $36.29. The State of Texas asserts exemption from federal excise taxes and all state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code, Section 151.309(4). While the award date is documented as December 29, 2025, the stated completion date of September 15, 2025, appears inconsistent with standard contract timelines and may warrant clarification from the contracting organization.
