Contract 26260789

The Texas Department of Transportation - 601 awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation on May 6, 2026. The awardee, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will provide rental vehicle services to support state operations. The contract was issued as Purchase Order No. 26260789 under the broader Term Contract 975-C1 and carries a contract value of $82.64 for a single unit procured under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514.

The purchase order designates the United States as the shipment destination and qualifies for a state and local sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) due to the property being secured for exclusive use of the State of Texas. The stated completion date is September 15, 2025, which predates the May 6, 2026 award date; this discrepancy suggests the completion date may reflect a prior contract period or administrative data entry variance. The minimal contract value of $82.64 indicates this represents either a nominal delivery order against the term contract or a purchase of limited rental vehicle services.
