8-HUB Information.pdf

This is a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) submittal requirements document from the City of Brownsville Procurement Department in Texas, issued in October 2025 for Fiscal Year 2026. The document outlines the City's policy to promote contracting and subcontracting opportunities for HUBs in accordance with the State of Texas Statewide HUB Program administered by the Texas Building and Procurement Commission. The City of Brownsville is seeking professional and qualified firms to provide Sales Tax Audit, Compliance, Analytics, and Revenue Enhancement Services to ensure accurate allocation of local sales and use tax revenues, identify and recover underreported or misallocated sales tax, and enhance the City's ability to monitor and analyze sales tax trends.

When subcontracting opportunities are identified as probable for a contract, submission of a HUB Subcontracting Plan becomes a required element. Interested parties and bidders are directed to access the State of Texas certified HUB database through the provided link and filter results by Cameron County to identify eligible historically underutilized businesses for potential subcontracting opportunities. The HUB program requirement applies to this sales tax audit engagement and represents the City's commitment to inclusive contracting practices.
