Contract 26262326

The State of Texas, Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The prime contractor is headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as 975-C1, was executed on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $53.00. The specific line item procured consists of one unit of commodity item "D" at a unit price of $53.32.

This vehicle rental services contract represents a relatively modest procurement by DFPS. The department, as a state agency within Texas government, utilized the Statewide Procurement Division under the office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts to execute this purchase order. The State of Texas claimed exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and State and City Sales Taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) based on the property being secured for exclusive use of the State. The contract nomenclature and documentation indicate this arrangement falls under the NIGP classification code 97514 for vehicle rental services, though the nominal contract value and single-unit purchase suggest this may represent either a pilot procurement or an ancillary transaction related to a larger vehicle rental services arrangement.
