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, identified as Term 26206654, was formalized on December 18, 2025, with a cumulative value of thirty-eight dollars ($38.32). The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement. The purchase order (PO No. 26206654) was issued by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, and covers one unit of the specified line item under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514.

The contract represents a single purchase transaction for vehicle rental services required by the Department of Family and Protective Services. The minimal contract value suggests this represents a limited scope engagement or a partial delivery under a larger blanket agreement. 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). While the stated completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date, this discrepancy suggests the referenced completion date may indicate a contract term or renewal period rather than the actual project timeline.
