Vehicle Rental Services

The State of Texas, through the Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contractor, located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected to provide these services under Contract 975-C1. The purchase order (No. 26206495) was issued on December 30, 2025, with an order value of $38.32, representing a single line item for one unit at a unit price of $38.32. The State of Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the property was procured for exclusive use by the State or a Texas political subdivision.

The contract represents a term arrangement with a completion date of September 15, 2025, establishing an ongoing vehicle rental services relationship between the contracting parties. The limited cumulative value of thirty-eight dollars reflected in this particular purchase order appears to represent either an initial transaction or a minimal service order under the broader term contract framework. The Comptroller of Public Accounts-Statewide Procurement Division managed the procurement on behalf of the Department of Family and Protective Services, with Bobby Pounds identified as the purchaser contact.
