Description
The Houston‑Galveston Area Council (H‑GAC) is issuing a solicitation to pre‑qualify manufacturers and distributors of portable construction and maintenance equipment for inclusion on its HGACBuy cooperative purchasing blanket contracts. Qualified vendors will be listed as approved suppliers, allowing H‑GAC members across 25 Texas highway districts to purchase a broad range of equipment (e.g., air compressors, lifts, pumps, trenchers, signage, welding tools) under pre‑negotiated terms. This is a non‑price‑specific qualification process; pricing and specific order details will be handled through subsequent purchase orders once vendors are on the blanket roster.
• Scope: Portable construction and maintenance equipment categories (air compressors, lifts, pumps, trenchers, signage, welding supplies, etc.).
• Goal: Establish a vetted supplier pool for the HGACBuy program covering all 25 Texas districts.
• Procurement method: Blanket‑type contract; vendors must submit qualification responses via H‑GAC’s electronic portal.
• Deadline: Responses due by 12:00 PM on 11/19/2026.
• No pre‑bid meeting or site visit is indicated.
• Primary contact: Allison Cruz (Solicitation Contact).
