Contract 26260164

The Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC), a Texas state agency, awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation on May 6, 2026. The prime contractor, located in Estero, Florida, was selected to provide one unit of rental vehicle services under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The contract award carries a cumulative value of $41.36, representing a single purchase order transaction processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The contract is designated as Term 26260164 and is subject to standard Texas tax exemptions applicable to state procurement activities.

The stated completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date of May 6, 2026, which represents an apparent discrepancy in the contract timeline documentation. The purchase order was issued with reference number 26260164 and internal tracking number 377233430. As a procurement by the HHSC for exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision, the transaction was processed exempt from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes in accordance with Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract's minimal value and single-unit scope suggest this represents either an administrative adjustment, a small supplemental order, or a data entry anomaly rather than a substantive vehicle rental services agreement.
