THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) or REQUEST FOR BID (RFB) PROCESS.

>>>>>>>>FAILURE TO SUBMIT A CORRECTLY FILLED OUT HSP WILL DISQUALIFY YOUR RESPONSE<<<<<<<< Contact HUBAdmin@uthscsa.edu for a COURTESY REVIEW of HSP in advance of bid submittal deadline. It is recommended that you reach out as soon as you receive the document to determine appropriate action and to allow yourself ample time to comply with State of Texas VETHUB Program requirements and deadlines as outlined in the HSP.

Rebecca Mendez, HUB Program Manager (210) 562-6300 Mary Minier, HUB Specialist (210) 562-6326

All agencies of the State of Texas are required to make a good faith effort (GFE) to promote and encourage contracting and subcontracting opportunities for VETHUB Businesses in all contracts.

UT Health San Antonio has reviewed this solicitation and has determined that subcontracting opportunities are probable. Therefore, a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) is required as part of the respondent’s submission.

Proposals that fail to comply with the HSP requirements will be considered non-responsive and will not receive consideration.

HSP Submission Respondent must submit:

One (1) electronic copy of the HSP to UT Health San Antonio at the same time the proposal is submitted, or as otherwise stated in the RFP.

Supporting documentation to the HSP, if required, HUB Subcontracting Opportunity Notices submitted to potential Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) subcontractors and trade organizations/development centers.

University will only accept proposals submitted through the UT Health SA BONFIRE Procurement Portal

HSP Checklist When completing the HSP, please choose only one submission option as identified on the HUB Subcontracting Plan Quick Checklist cover page:

Special Note: When notifying VETHUB subcontractors and trade organizations/development centers of subcontracting opportunities under Option 3, GFE Method B, allow no less than seven (7) full working days to respond to bids.

Day of transmittal is considered to be “day 0” and does not count as one of the 7 working days. Day one

(1) of seven (7) starts the day after opportunity is sent via email to subcontractors. Documentation of notice to subcontractors must accompany HSP upon submittal at RFP submittal deadline.

A working day is considered a normal workday of a state agency, not including weekends, federal or state holidays or days the agency is declared closed.

Therefore, all respondents, including State of Texas certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) must complete and submit this State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) with their response to the bid requisition (solicitation).

- - Agency Special Instructions/Additional Requirements - -

In accordance with 34 TAC §20.285(d), a respondent (prime contractor) may demonstrate good faith effort to utilize Texas certified HUBs for its subcontracting opportunities if the total value of the respondent’s subcontracts with Texas certified HUBs meets or exceeds the statewide HUB goal or the agency specific HUB goal, whichever is higher. When a respondent uses this method to demonstrate good faith effort, the respondent must identify the HUBs with which it will subcontract. If using existing contracts with Texas certified HUBs to satisfy this requirement, only the aggregate percentage of the contracts expected to be subcontracted to HUBs shall qualify for meeting the HUB goal.
