Fleet Services Equipment

The Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-GAC) is conducting a solicitation under its Cooperative Purchasing Program, HGACBuy, to select qualified manufacturers, distributors, installers, and service providers for fleet services equipment. This initiative leverages the authority granted by Texas Local Government Code to provide cooperative contracts for a variety of products and services to Texas local governments and other eligible entities in states with similar statutes. The procurement aims to establish blanket purchase agreements that enable customers to acquire equipment and services either through selective procurement or comprehensive turnkey projects, which may include additional services such as training and maintenance. Respondents are encouraged to offer discounts off catalogs or price lists, or hourly rates for installation and repair, though they are not required to cover all categories. The solicitation, identified as FL10-24, was posted on March 20, 2024, with a deadline for responses set for May 2, 2024. The NAICS code associated with this contract is 541611, which pertains to administrative management and general management consulting services, indicating a focus on fleet management and related services. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Neal Witty, reachable via email or phone. The overarching contractual framework is supported by comprehensive documents, including the HGACBuy Master Agreement and Contractor and Customer Handbook, which establish legal, operational, and compliance standards. These documents outline the terms for contractor participation, compliance with federal and state laws, small and minority business goals, and operational procedures to ensure transparency, fairness, and effective cooperation between contractors and government entities participating in the program.
