About this file
This is a procurement notification and system transition announcement from H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council), a Texas-based purchasing consortium, regarding its migration to an OpenGov web-based electronic bidding and vendor management platform. The announcement serves as an invitation for vendors to register in H-GAC's Procurement Portal to submit bids and proposals for upcoming contract opportunities. The document directs interested parties to access solicitations through https://www.h-gac.com/procurement and to utilize the portal's subscription feature to receive notifications of future opportunities.
The announcement establishes critical communication protocols and ethical standards for the procurement process, prohibiting direct communication between respondents and H-GAC employees outside of the Solicitation Contact or authorized pre-proposal conferences from the solicitation issue date through contract execution. Respondents are explicitly forbidden from offering gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members. Violations of these restrictions may result in submission rejection in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy. The document emphasizes H-GAC's commitment to maintaining fair and competitive bidding practices and provides support resources for vendors navigating the new electronic bidding system.

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.
