Contract 26263250

The Texas Department of Agriculture (Agency 551), through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, awarded a term contract to The Hertz Corporation for vehicle rental services. The award was executed on May 6, 2026, under Contract 975-C1, with a total contract value of $153.28. The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida, serves as the prime contractor for this engagement. The contract nomenclature and documentation indicate procurement under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514, consistent with vehicle rental commodity classifications.

The purchase order (PO No. 26263250) reflects a single line item transaction for one unit at a unit price of $153.28, suggesting a discrete vehicle rental requirement rather than an ongoing fleet management arrangement despite the term contract designation. The State of Texas exercised exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4). While the completion date listed in the contract metadata is September 15, 2025—predating the award date of May 6, 2026—this discrepancy likely reflects a data entry error. The actual period of performance should be clarified with the contracting organization for accurate record-keeping purposes.
