Contract 26261461

The Texas Department of Transportation - District 601 awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for Vehicle Rental Services under Contract 975-C1. The contract was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a contract value of $67.32 for a single unit of commodities procured under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor, with billing and shipping directed to the State of Texas. As a state entity, the Texas Department of Transportation is exempt from Federal Excise Taxes and has claimed exemption from Texas state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4).

The purchase order was issued through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division under Purchase Order Number 26261461, dated May 6, 2026. The contract structure indicates a term agreement; however, the completion date of September 15, 2025, predates the award date, suggesting potential data entry anomalies in the award record. The minimal contract value and single-unit procurement structure indicate this represents a discrete transactional purchase rather than an ongoing service delivery arrangement typical of vehicle rental agreements.
