About this file

This is an electronic bidding system notification issued by H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council), a Texas-based consortium, announcing the transition to OpenGov's automated web-based procurement platform. The document serves as an invitation to vendors to register with H-GAC's Procurement Portal to submit bids and proposals for future opportunities. No specific products, services, quantities, response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract terms are detailed in this notification, as it functions as a general system announcement rather than a specific solicitation document. Interested vendors are directed to register for free on the portal and can access all current solicitations through H-GAC's website at https://www.h-gac.com/procurement.

The notification emphasizes procurement governance and ethical standards but contains no information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or project-specific amounts. H-GAC prohibits direct communication between respondents and H-GAC employees outside the designated Solicitation Contact during the restricted communication period, which begins at solicitation issuance and extends through either the protest period (for non-selected respondents) or contract execution (for selected respondents). Respondents are explicitly forbidden from offering gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members. Violations of these communication or ethical requirements may result in rejection of submissions in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy.

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.
