Contract 26259636

The State of Texas, through Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TERC), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 975-C1, was executed on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $185.44. The Hertz Corporation, located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The service delivery was designated for use by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, with the purchase order exempting the state from federal excise taxes and sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

The initial purchase order (No. 26259636) comprises a single line item requesting one unit of vehicle rental services at a unit price of $185.44. While the contract award indicates a nominal completion date of September 15, 2025—which predates the award date and suggests a data entry discrepancy—the contract structure is classified as a term contract, indicating an ongoing relationship between the parties beyond the initial order. This contract represents a routine procurement of temporary transportation assets for state administrative purposes.
