Contract 26260676

The State of Texas, through East Texas A&M University (Agency 751), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The prime contractor, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, was selected to provide one unit of commodity classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The contract award was issued on May 6, 2026, with a stated completion date of September 15, 2025—a temporal inconsistency noted in the source documentation. The cumulative contract value is $76.64, representing a single purchase order (Number 26260676) priced at $76.64 per unit.

This transaction constitutes a minimal-value procurement executed under Texas's statewide term contract framework. As a state entity purchase, the State of Texas is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). The contract documentation does not specify a geographic place of performance beyond the contractor's principal location in Florida, nor does it identify a specific county within Texas where services are to be delivered. The limited contract value and single-unit purchase suggest this procurement may represent a test order, amendment, or administrative action rather than a primary vehicle rental engagement.
