The document outlines the contracting entity's commitment to utilizing historically underutilized businesses in the acquisition process. The plan establishes goals and strategies for subcontracting opportunities and vendor participation, detailing how the prime contractor will engage HUB-certified vendors for applicable portions of the work related to building improvements and water softener system installation and maintenance. The document specifies the methods by which the contractor will solicit bids from HUB vendors, document good faith efforts to meet established participation percentages, and maintain records of all HUB subcontracting activities throughout the project execution and completion phases.

The HUB Plan includes specific participation targets, documentation requirements for demonstrating good faith efforts, and reporting mechanisms to track compliance with minority business utilization goals. The plan addresses how the contractor will identify certified HUB vendors, negotiate subcontracts, and maintain communication with the procurement authority regarding HUB participation metrics.
