About this file
This document is a Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) Search Assistance guide from the state of Texas, specifically involving the Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) and Texas Department of Information Resources. The document explains the NIGP Commodity/Services Code system, developed by the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, which is used to classify procurements and match vendors with state needs. The coding system divides classifications into commodities/products (codes 001-899) and services (codes 900-999), providing specific examples such as compressors (025-43), microcomputers (204-53), business consulting (918-21), and right of way services (968-66).
The document includes information about the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL), which serves as a master database for Texas purchasing entities to develop vendor mailing lists for bid opportunities. Three specific resources are provided: the commodity book index search, the CMBL search tool, and CMBL/HUB Directory search tips, all accessible through Texas state government websites. This guidance document is designed to help vendors properly code their products or services and navigate the state's procurement system.
