Computer Technology and Related Solutions

The Houston‑Galveston Area Council (H‑GAC) is issuing a cooperative‑purchasing RFP (CT04‑27) to establish blanket‑type contracts for computer technology products and related services. The solicitation seeks qualified manufacturers, distributors, installers, and service providers to offer hardware (desktops, laptops, servers, networking, audio‑visual), software (licenses, SaaS), and full‑life‑cycle IT asset management—including installation, integration, training, warranty, de‑commissioning, and e‑waste recycling. Respondents must submit a catalog‑price list with a uniform discount percentage, provide manufacturer approval letters, and agree to a 2 % administrative fee payable to H‑GAC. The contract term is four years with a possible one‑year extension; multiple awards may be made, and there is no guaranteed volume. The program allows nationwide sales to any eligible local government or nonprofit customer. • Scope: hardware, software, peripherals, cloud services, installation, integration, training, warranty, asset disposition. • Required deliverables: price list with discount, manufacturer approval, quarterly transaction reports, compliance with licensing, safety, and Buy‑America/Buy‑American where applicable. • Eligibility: manufacturers, wholesale distributors, dealers, or authorized resellers; must hold appropriate Texas dealer/franchise licenses for motor‑vehicle related items. • Evaluation: price discount, ability to meet specifications, warranty terms, DBE subcontracting goals, and administrative fee compliance. • Submission: electronic PDF/Excel via OpenGov by 12:00 pm on Dec 10, 2026; questions due by Nov 16, 2026.
