This is an Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan document for the State of Texas, submitted in compliance with contract requirements. The document outlines the participation goals and strategies for subcontracting opportunities with HUB-certified businesses across various categories including African American-owned, Hispanic American-owned, Native American-owned, Asian Pacific American-owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned enterprises. The plan details the prime contractor's commitment to actively solicit, identify, and utilize HUB subcontractors throughout the contract performance period, with specific percentage targets established for different business classifications. The document includes information on the contractor's outreach efforts, such as advertising in targeted publications, attending HUB forums and networking events, and maintaining relationships with HUB-certified vendors to meet or exceed established participation goals.

The plan establishes measurable subcontracting targets as percentages of contract value and includes provisions for good faith efforts documentation, demonstrating the contractor's commitment to achieving HUB participation. The contractor is required to submit quarterly reports tracking actual HUB subcontractor utilization and spending, with mechanisms in place to address any shortfalls against established goals. The document specifies that all subcontractors must be verified HUB-certified by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts or hold equivalent certification status. Failure to meet HUB participation goals without documented good faith efforts may result in contract penalties or non-renewal, making compliance with this subcontracting plan a material requirement of the underlying contract.
