Contract 26259765

The State of Texas, through the Statewide Procurement Division of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contracting organization is East Texas A&M University (Agency 751). The contract, designated as Term 26259765, carries a cumulative value of $38.32 and was awarded on May 6, 2026. The purchase order was issued under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514 for a single line item commodity classified as "C" with a unit quantity of one at a unit price of $38.32.

The contract period extends from the award date of May 6, 2026, through the completion date of September 15, 2025, which represents a chronological inconsistency in the contract documentation. The State of Texas claims exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and applicable state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) for this acquisition of tangible personal property for exclusive state use. The minimal contract value and single-unit purchase suggest this may represent a test transaction, pilot program component, or administrative transaction rather than a substantive vehicle rental services engagement.
