About this file
This document is an informational notice from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) regarding their transition to a new electronic bidding and vendor management system powered by OpenGov. H-GAC is implementing a fully automated, web-based platform for submitting bids/proposals and receiving notifications of future procurement opportunities. Vendors are encouraged to register for free in the H-GAC Procurement Portal at https://www.h-gac.com/procurement to access solicitations and submit responses.
The document includes a critical communication protocol emphasizing fair competition by restricting direct communication between vendors and H-GAC employees outside of authorized channels. Specifically, vendors are prohibited from communicating with H-GAC staff in ways that could create an unfair advantage during the solicitation process. The communication restriction begins with the solicitation issue date and continues until contract execution or the conclusion of the protest period. Vendors are also explicitly forbidden from offering gratuities or monetary favors to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members to influence submission consideration, with potential submission rejection as a consequence of violations.

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.
