About this file
This document is a Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) Search Assistance guide issued by the state of Texas, specifically referencing the Statewide Procurement Division (SPD) and Texas Department of Information Resources. The document explains the NIGP Commodity/Services Code system, which is used to classify procurements and match vendors with state needs. The coding system is organized with class codes 001-899 for commodities/products and 900-999 for services, providing specific examples such as high-pressure compressors (025-43), desktop microcomputers (204-53), business consulting (918-21), and right of way services (968-66).
The document provides three key resources for vendors: the NIGP Commodity Book search tool, the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) search interface, and CMBL/HUB Directory search tips. The CMBL serves as a master database used by Texas purchasing entities to develop vendor mailing lists for bid opportunities based on their products or services. The document includes direct links to these resources and encourages bidders to familiarize themselves with the format and contents to properly participate in state procurement opportunities.
