Contract 26263202

The State of Texas awarded a term contract for vehicle rental services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered in Estero, Florida. The contracting organization is East Texas A&M University (Agency 751), which serves as the ordering entity under this statewide procurement arrangement. The contract was awarded on May 6, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $766.40 for one unit of commodity "D" procured under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing Code 97514. The purchase order documentation indicates this transaction was processed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide Procurement Division.

The contract represents a single purchase order transaction rather than an ongoing service delivery arrangement despite its designation as a "term" contract. The order value of $766.40 reflects a unit price of $766.40 for one item. The State of Texas claimed a sales tax exemption under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) based on the property being secured for exclusive use by the state or a Texas political subdivision. While the completion date is listed as September 15, 2025—predating the award date—this discrepancy suggests potential data entry issues in the contract record. The specific commodity designation "D" and detailed scope of vehicle rental services are not further elaborated in the available documentation.
