Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Education Agency (TEA), a state entity under the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 975-C1, was awarded on December 7, 2025, with a cumulative value of $76.64. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement.

The contract encompasses the provision of one unit of a commodity item designated as "C" at a unit price of $76.64. The purchase order (PO No. 26206907) was issued by the Texas Education Agency for delivery to the United States, with Bobby Pounds identified as the purchaser. The State of Texas claims exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and has applied a sales tax exemption certificate under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), reflecting the procurement's status as property secured for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision. A discrepancy exists in the contract documentation regarding the completion date of September 15, 2025, which predates the award date of December 7, 2025.
