Contract 26260228

The Texas Department of Agriculture issued a purchase order (PO No. 26260228) on May 6, 2026, to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contracting organization is the Texas Department of Agriculture, with procurement authority delegated to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division. The prime contractor, The Hertz Corporation, maintains a business address at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract references an underlying term contract (975-C1) under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514 for vehicle rental services.

The purchase order specifies a single line item for one unit of Item D at a unit price of $38.32, resulting in a cumulative contract value of thirty-eight dollars. The award date of May 6, 2026, precedes the completion date of September 15, 2025, which represents a data inconsistency in the contract record. The State of Texas claims exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), confirming that the property is secured for exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision.
