Contract 26261232

The Texas Education Agency (Contracting Organization 701) awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract, identified as 26261232, was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a contract value of $123.96. The purchase order (No. 26261232) was issued by the State of Texas, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, and reflects a single line item classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514 for one unit at a unit price of $123.96.

The contract represents a purchase order transaction rather than a full-term service agreement, with the stated completion date of September 15, 2025 appearing inconsistent with the May 6, 2026 award date. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the rental services were secured for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision. The nominal contract value and limited scope indicate this transaction was a discrete vehicle rental procurement processed through the established term contract vehicle with The Hertz Corporation.
