About this file

This document contains the Tarrant County College District (TCCD) Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) instructions and forms applicable to state and local contract opportunities, specifically referencing a Collection Agency Services procurement (RFP #25-019) with a HUB goal of 23.7%. The instructions establish TCCD's policy to ensure full and equitable participation by HUB firms in the procurement of goods and services on a contractual basis, with goals determined by the State of Texas HUB availability study based on procurement categories including construction (21.1%), special trades (32.9%), professional services (23.7%), commodities (21.1%), and other services (26.0%). For contracts valued at $50,000 or more, bidders must comply with HUB program requirements through either meeting or exceeding the stated minimum HUB goal or submitting Good Faith Effort documentation. All required HUB documentation, including the HUB Affidavit Statement, HUB Utilization Form, and Good Faith Effort Form (if applicable), must be received with bid documents on the bid opening date to ensure the bid is considered responsive to specifications.

Bidders must select one of three compliance options: meeting or exceeding the HUB percentage goal while completing the HUB Utilization Form; participating below the stated percentage while completing both the Utilization Form and Good Faith Effort Form; or submitting no HUB participation while completing only the Good Faith Effort Form. HUB firms must be certified by acceptable agencies including the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA), State of Texas HUB, or DFW-MSDC, and all certifications must be obtained before contract award. The document requires bidders to allow TCCD to audit and examine books, records, and files to substantiate actual work performed by HUB subcontractors, with willful misrepresentation of facts grounds for bid disqualification and consideration as non-responsive to specifications. Failure to submit a completed HUB Affidavit Statement with the bid at time of opening will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.
