About this file
This document is a guidance document from the state of Texas regarding Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) Search Assistance, issued by 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 potential vendors with state needs. The NIGP code categorizes items into two main classes: commodity/product codes (001-899) and service codes (900-999), providing specific examples such as high-pressure compressors, microcomputers, business consulting, and right-of-way services.
The document provides detailed guidance on using the Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL), a master database used by Texas purchasing entities to develop mailing lists for vendors. Bidders are encouraged to become familiar with the NIGP code book and use the provided web resources to search and register. The document includes links to search tools like https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/commbook/indexSearch for finding appropriate commodity and service codes, and https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/tpasscmblsearch/tpasscmblsearch.do for the CMBL search, helping vendors understand how to properly code and list their products and services for state procurement opportunities.
