Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530), awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contract, identified as 26206474, was awarded on November 25, 2025, with a cumulative value of thirty-eight dollars ($38.32). The purchase order represents a single unit procurement of commodity item C under the Statewide Procurement Division's term contracting vehicle.

The contract encompasses vehicle rental services to be provided to the Department of Family and Protective Services. Performance is expected to conclude by September 15, 2025, though this date predates the award date, suggesting either a data entry discrepancy or retroactive authorization. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this purchase of tangible personal property for the exclusive use of a Texas state agency. The minimal contract value of $38.32 indicates this represents a limited or supplemental vehicle rental requirement rather than a comprehensive fleet management arrangement.
