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 contract, designated as 26206499, was executed on December 11, 2025, with a cumulative value of thirty-eight dollars ($38.32). The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will serve as the prime contractor under this agreement. The contract covers a single line item designated as commodity "D" with National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, ordered in a quantity of one unit.

The purchase order indicates a completion date of September 15, 2025, though this date predates the award date and may reflect a data entry discrepancy. 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), as the rental services are being secured for the exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision. The minimal contract value and single-unit order suggest this transaction may represent a residual or administrative item under the broader vehicle rental services term contract rather than a comprehensive procurement engagement.
