H-GAC (Houston-Galveston Area Council), a Texas purchasing consortium, has issued guidance on transition to an electronic bidding and vendor management system through OpenGov, effective for solicitations issued on or after May 27, 2026, with no specific procurement contract due date identified in this announcement.

Prospective vendors must register at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/h-gac to submit bids and proposals and receive notifications of future H-GAC contract opportunities. Registration is free. Additional vendor registration information is available at https://www.h-gac.com/procurement.

The announcement establishes procurement compliance requirements binding on all respondents. Direct communication between respondents and H-GAC employees is prohibited during the restricted period, which begins on the solicitation issue date and extends through the protest period for non-selected respondents or contract execution for selected respondents. Pre-proposal conferences and other direct communications with H-GAC staff require express written authorization from the designated Solicitation Contact. Respondents are prohibited from offering gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value to H-GAC officials or evaluation committee members to influence submission consideration. Violations of communication or ethics requirements may result in submission rejection in accordance with H-GAC Procurement Policy.

This announcement does not describe a specific goods or services procurement. It is a system-wide transition notice affecting the mechanics of H-GAC solicitations going forward.
