Contract 26262597

The State of Texas, through the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS, Agency 530), awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The contract, designated as 26262597, was awarded on May 6, 2026. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida 33928, serves as the prime contractor under this arrangement. The contract encompasses vehicle rental services to support the operational needs of DFPS.

The purchase order issued under this contract (PO No. 26262597) reflects a minimal initial transaction value of $38.32 for one unit of commodity item C (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514). The contract completion date is listed as September 15, 2025, which predates the award date and indicates either a data entry discrepancy or retroactive documentation. The State of Texas has claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and local sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), applicable to property secured for exclusive state use. The relatively low contract value in the referenced purchase order suggests this may represent an initial or partial order under a broader term contract framework.
