Contract 26259924

The University of Houston at Clear Lake, a Texas political subdivision, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services effective May 6, 2026. The prime contractor, located at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected to provide rental vehicles under Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division contracting authority. The contract carries a total value of $199.60 and encompasses one line item designated under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514. The stated completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date, indicating a potential data entry discrepancy in the contract record.

Under this term contract arrangement, the University of Houston at Clear Lake procured vehicle rental services for exclusive use by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, with performance and delivery location in the United States. The transaction is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). Given the minimal contract value, this award likely represents either a single rental transaction or an administrative amendment to an existing agreement rather than a comprehensive vehicle rental services engagement.
