Contract 26260440

The State of Texas, through Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (Agency 716), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 26260440, was executed on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative value of $38.32. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this engagement. The purchase order encompasses a single line item (commodity code "C" under NIGP Code 97514) with a unit price of $38.32 for one unit.

The contract represents a term procurement arrangement, though the completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date of May 6, 2026, which may indicate either a data entry discrepancy or retroactive documentation. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and invoked state and city sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), indicating the vehicle rental services were procured for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a political subdivision thereof. The minimal contract value and single-unit procurement suggest this may represent either a test transaction, a nominal order, or partial documentation of a larger arrangement.
