Contract 26259684

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services under Contract 975-C1. The award was executed on May 6, 2026, with The Hertz Corporation maintaining its principal place of business at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The procurement was conducted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division on behalf of the state agency. The contract encompasses vehicle rental services classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514, with a single line item designated as commodity "D" procured at a unit price of $76.64 for a cumulative contract value of $76.64.

The contract represents a term procurement structure, indicating an indefinite-quantity or requirements-based arrangement for ongoing vehicle rental services. The stated completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date of May 6, 2026, suggesting a data inconsistency in the contract record. As a state procurement, the purchase is exempt from Texas sales tax under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and from applicable federal excise taxes. The minimal contract value of $76.64 suggests this award may represent a partial or single-unit transaction within a broader term agreement framework.
