HGAC Buy Program

Government entities join by executing an Interlocal Agreement Contract to participate in HGACBuy. This document sets out the conditions, requirements, and processes through which an entity's purchase orders are received, confirmed to contract, and procured.

HGACBuy uses mass circulation, minority emphasis print media, and internet services to post legal notices and bid solicitations. Therefore, the posting of public notices to solicit bids and the formal competitive bid process are satisfied through HGACBuy procedures.

HGACBuy is a unit of local government and a political subdivision of the State of Texas. The HGACBuy Program is over 45 years old and specializes in high-ticket, capital-intensive products and services that require technical, detailed specifications and extensive professional skills to evaluate bid responses. All products offered through HGACBuy have been awarded by virtue of a public competitive process. There are no annual membership dues required to purchase thru HGACBuy.

The Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act permits joint participation by local governments, states, state agencies, and certain non-profit corporations. Most states have interlocal cooperation authority or other joint power provisions that allow participation in cooperative activities.
