About this file
This file is an electronic solicitation invitation and vendor management system notification from H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council), a Texas-based purchasing cooperative. The document announces H-GAC's transition to OpenGov's automated web-based electronic bidding platform and directs interested vendors to register for free through H-GAC's Procurement Portal to submit bids and receive future opportunity notifications. The invitation provides the procurement portal URL and references the Vendor Registration page for instructions on system access and participation in solicitations.
The document establishes communication protocols and ethical standards for the solicitation process, prohibiting direct communication between respondents and H-GAC employees other than the designated Solicitation Contact from the issue date through either the protest period conclusion (for non-selected respondents) or contract execution (for selected respondents). The restriction does not apply to communications during pre-proposal conferences or when expressly authorized by the Solicitation Contact. The document also prohibits respondents from offering gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members to influence consideration of submissions. Violations of these requirements may result in submission rejection 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.
