Interested Offerors must do the following:

Offerors Initial Steps: Registration

  1. Confirm your organization is a registered vendor with the City of Austin. 
    • To find the City of Austin Vendor Number please visit Austin Finance Online and search for the organization’s legal name. 
    • To register to become a potential City of Austin vendor, go to Austin Finance Online to register. 

 

  1. Be a registered user in the Partnergrants system. The proposals will be submitted through this web-based system. 
    • To register, visit Partnergrants and click on “Register Here.”  
    • Note that the organization’s City of Austin Vendor number is required to complete registration in Partnergrants. 

 

  1. Register with Sam.gov. 
    • In order to enter a contract with the City of Austin for this funding, you must be a registered vendor with the Federal Government by completing a registration in Sam.gov. The Federal Government estimates registration takes at least 14 hours. You must go through full registration, not just obtain an ID. Assistance can be provided by the Sam.gov team.  
    • On April 1, 2022, the entire Sam.gov system transitioned so get started now because it could be very difficult to obtain assistance during this transition time from the Sam.gov helpdesk. 
    • APH estimates from start to finish the registration process takes at least 4 weeks. Note that APH is NOT able to work with Sam.gov on your behalf or ask about the status of your registration. Your registration must be viewable to the public and not made private or restricted.

    • Once logged into PartnerGrants, click on “Opportunity” and then opportunity title “Annual Agency Threshold Application-Applicants for Funding Start Here” to complete a new threshold application. 
    • Submit one per agency per 12-months and note the submission date for future use
