Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Overview

What is a "Historically Underutilized Business"…

• is a for-profit entity that has not exceeded the size standards prescribed by 34 TAC §20.23, and has its principal place of business in Texas, and

• is at least 51% owned by an Asian Pacific American, Black American, Hispanic American, Native American, American woman and/or Service Disabled Veteran, who reside in Texas and actively participate in the control, operations and management of the entity's affairs.

Completing the HUB Sub-Contracting Plan (HSP)

• UT System Policy #137 requires a “good-faith effort” to include minority and woman-owned businesses in all of our procurement opportunities.

• All firms or individuals, both HUB and non-HUB, in-state or out-of-state, who propose on UT System opportunities, valued over $100,000 are required to submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan with their RFQ.

• Responses that do not include an HSP will be rejected as a material failure to comply with advertised specifications in accordance with the request for proposal.

• HUB Goal for this RFQ is 21.1%
