Contract 26261851

The State of Texas, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts - Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for Vehicle Rental Services. The contract, designated as Term 26261851, was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a contract value of $21.29. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this procurement, which falls under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514.

The purchase order (PO No. 26261851) represents a single-unit transaction executed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts in Austin, Texas, as the contracting and billing agency. The contract period extends through September 15, 2025, though the award date of May 6, 2026 creates a temporal inconsistency in the documentation. The State of Texas claims a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) and exemption from Federal Excise Taxes as applicable, reflecting the tax-exempt status of state procurement activities. The minimal contract value and single-unit structure suggest this may represent an ancillary or administrative transaction rather than a primary vehicle rental agreement.
