Contract 26260552

The University of Houston at Clear Lake, a component of the University of Houston system in Texas, has awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, identified as 26260552, was executed on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $153.28. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will serve as the prime contractor under this agreement.

The procurement covers a single line item for vehicle rental services under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514. The contract establishes a term arrangement rather than a time-and-materials or cost-plus structure, providing the University of Houston at Clear Lake with a defined pricing mechanism for rental vehicle services. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), reflecting the tax-exempt status of the purchasing entity. The stated completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date, suggesting potential data entry discrepancies that should be clarified for contract administration purposes.
