About this file

This file is an HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) training attendance report prepared by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for the WIC Multi-media Program solicitation HHS0016182. The training session was conducted on December 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time and was attended by three participants: Amy Castro (HHSC Sole Point of Contact), Cheryl Bradley (HUB Coordinator), and Mystica Jacob from Optimize Ops. The training covered HSP method options, required HSP documentation pages, and guidance on completing subcontracting plans. Key solicitation deadlines outlined in the document include December 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM Central Time for submitting questions to the RFP, December 19, 2025 at 5:00 PM Central Time for the HSP courtesy review deadline, and January 7, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time for the final proposal submission deadline. The training emphasized that responses without a completed HSP will be rejected pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2161.252(b) and 34 TAC 20.285.

The training presentation detailed five HSP method options available to respondents: Method I (utilizing only Texas certified HUBs), Method II (Mentor-Protégé relationships with approved agreements), Method III (meeting or exceeding HUB goals through subcontracting), Method IV (solicitation method requiring contact with three or more certified HUBs and two business development centers or trade organizations), and Method V (self-performing contractors completing all work with their own resources). All subcontracting methods except Method V require completion of specific GFE (Good Faith Effort) attachments and documentation of HUB vendor profiles from the CMBL/HUB Directory, including active status verification and expiration dates. The training materials instructed respondents to review the HSP checklist, identify the specific HUB subcontracting goal percentage for this solicitation, select an appropriate HSP method with supporting documentation, and note that no HSP changes are permitted after contract award.
