Contract 26262048

The State of Texas, through the Department of Family and Protective Services (Agency 530), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contractor, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928, was selected to provide commodity "D" vehicle rental services under Contract 975-C1. The contract was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a stated completion date of September 15, 2025. The cumulative contract value is thirty-eight dollars ($38.32), representing a single line item purchase order (PO No. 26262048) for one unit at a unit price of $38.32. The purchase order qualifies for Texas sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) as property secured for exclusive use by the State of Texas or a Texas political subdivision.

The contract was issued by the Comptroller of Public Accounts, Statewide Procurement Division, with internal tracking number 524285613. The line item is classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514 and represents a minimal-value procurement. Given the contract structure and documentation, this appears to be a spot purchase or test order under an existing term contract vehicle rental agreement rather than a comprehensive procurement engagement. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes consistent with the contract terms.
