About this file
This is an electronic bidding system announcement from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) regarding their transition to a new web-based procurement portal powered by OpenGov. The announcement informs vendors about the requirement to register in the new procurement portal to submit bids/proposals and receive notifications of future opportunities. Vendors can access solicitations through the H-GAC procurement portal or view them at h-gac.com/procurement.
The announcement outlines strict communication protocols during the solicitation process, prohibiting direct communication between H-GAC employees and vendors outside of authorized channels to maintain a fair and competitive environment. The restricted communication period begins on the solicitation issue date and continues until either the conclusion of the protest period for non-selected respondents or contract execution for selected respondents. The policy also prohibits vendors from offering gratuities or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or employees to influence the evaluation process.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: To ensure a fair and competitive environment, direct communication between H-GAC employees other than the Solicitation Contact or any party able to create an unfair advantage to Respondent or disadvantage to other Respondents with respect to the Solicitation process, or the award of a Contract is strictly prohibited. This restricted period of communication begins on the issue date of the Solicitation and for Respondent(s) not selected for award ends with the conclusion of the protest period identified in the Solicitation document and for Respondents(s) selected for award ends with the Contract execution. This restriction does not apply to communications to other H-GAC employees during a Pre-Proposal/Bid or Response conference or other situations where the Solicitation Contact has expressly authorized direct communications with other staff. A Respondent who intentionally violates this requirement of the Solicitation process or otherwise deliberately or unintentionally benefits from such a violation by another party may have its Submission rejected in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy. Respondent(s) will not offer any gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to any official or employee of H-GAC (including any and all members of the evaluation committee) for the purposes of influencing consideration of any Submission.
