3.5 HISTORICALLY UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESS (HUB)

The GLO is committed to promoting full and equal business opportunities for businesses in state contracting in accordance with the goals specified in the State of Texas Disparity Study. The GLO encourages the use of Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) through race, ethnic and gender-neutral means. Pursuant to Texas Government Code §2161.181 and §2161.182, and the

Texas General Land Office -21- IFB 4216-MK

GLO’s HUB policy and rules, the GLO makes a good-faith effort to increase HUB participation in its contracts. The GLO does this by contracting directly with HUBs or indirectly through subcontracting.

It is the policy of the General Land Office to promote and encourage contracting and subcontracting opportunities for State of Texas certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) in compliance with Texas Government Code, §2161.001-253 and TAC Rule §20.285.

Definitions for State of Texas HUB-certifiable businesses may be found under TAC Rule §20.282.

The GLO encourages eligible Respondents to become State of Texas certified HUBs. State of Texas HUB applications may be found at: https://texashub.gob2g.com. An evaluation of potential subcontracting opportunities was conducted for this contract in accordance with Texas Government Code §2161.252, and it was determined that this contract does not contain any probable subcontracting opportunities. Therefore, GLO is not requiring a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) to be submitted with responses to this solicitation.

3.6 VENDOR PERFORMANCE REPORTING

The GLO is required by rule (34 TAC §20.509) to report vendor performance through the Vendor Performance Tracking System (VPTS). Additional information on this system can be found on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts website through this link:

https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/programs/vendor-performance-tracking/

As of January 24, 2017, the VPTS reporting methodology was revised so that vendors are assigned a letter grade (A-F) rather than the historic satisfactory/unsatisfactory ratings. The report grades for historic reports will be displayed as “Legacy Satisfactory” or “Legacy Unsatisfactory.” New reports will be graded on the A-F scale as now required by statute. A Bidder’s past performance shall be measured in the VPTS by a letter grade that combines any historic ratings with ratings using the new letter grade system in the method described in 34 TAC §20.115.

The GLO is required to consider past performance when determining contract award as part of the “Best Value” standard, in compliance with applicable provisions of Texas Government Code §§2155.074, 2155.075, 2155.149, and 2156.125. The GLO may conduct reference checks with other entities regarding past performance. In addition to evaluating performance through the VPTS, the GLO may examine other sources of vendor performance including, but not limited to, notices of termination, cure notices, assessments of liquidated damages, litigation, audit reports, and non-renewals of contracts. Any such investigations shall be at the sole discretion of the GLO, and any negative findings, as determined by the GLO, may result in non-award to the Bidder.
