Contract 26261438

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551) awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, designated 975-C1 with purchase order number 26261438, was issued on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $153.28. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, will provide the specified services under the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The purchase order is subject to Texas state and city sales tax exemptions under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the procurement is for the exclusive use of the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision.

The contract consists of a single line item designated as commodity "D" with a quantity of one unit at a unit price of $153.28. While the contract award documentation indicates a completion date of September 15, 2025—which predates the May 6, 2026 award date and suggests a possible data entry discrepancy—the term contract structure indicates an ongoing service arrangement. The contracted services are to be delivered to the United States, and the State of Texas is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes except as specifically noted in the contract terms.
