This document is a HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan (HSP) for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, focusing on promoting subcontracting opportunities for certified HUB vendors. The form outlines the state's goals for HUB participation across various contract categories, including 11.2 percent for heavy construction, 21.1 percent for building construction, 32.9 percent for special trade construction contracts, 23.7 percent for professional services, 26.0 percent for other services, and 21.1 percent for commodities contracts. The document provides a comprehensive framework for prime contractors to detail their intentions for subcontracting with Texas-certified HUB vendors, including specific sections for identifying subcontracting opportunities, vendor selection, and good faith efforts to include HUB vendors.

The plan requires detailed documentation of subcontracting intentions, including the percentage of contract work to be awarded to Texas-certified HUB and non-HUB vendors. Contractors must provide information about potential subcontractors, their HUB certification status, and expected contract percentages. The form includes multiple sections for reporting subcontracting opportunities, vendor selection, and demonstrating good faith efforts to include HUB vendors. Additional attachments provide methods for documenting outreach to trade organizations, development centers, and other potential HUB vendors. The document is part of a broader state initiative to increase opportunities for historically underutilized businesses in government contracting, with specific reporting and compliance requirements for prime contractors.
