FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Is a HSP Required?

Yes. UH Purchasing Department has determined that subcontracting is probable for this contract.

How do we submit the HSP?

Respondents must return the HSP plan in a separate envelope, USB, and it must be sealed with the reference number.

What is the HUB Goal for this project?

The HUB Subcontracting Goal for this RFP is 21.1%.

Do we HAVE TO Subcontract?

Successful respondents will be required to make a good faith effort to award subcontracts in at least the specified percentage of the value of the awarded contract to historically underutilized businesses (HUBs).

Missed opportunities?

• Self Performing without Justification or adequate description; otherwise, your HSP can be deemed non-compliant

• Reaching out to non-responsive HUBs that were indicated in previous HSPs; hinders you from meeting the goal with having to go with a Non-HUB

• Utilizing our services (courtesy review, reporting and compliance monitoring, finding qualified HUB vendors)
