Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Participation

This contract opportunity is designed to allow MBE, WBE, DBE, or DVBE-certified firms to serve as subcontractors under North Carolina’s Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program, enabling certified businesses to participate in state-funded projects through the Department of Health and Human Services. The solicitation is associated with NAICS code 541511, indicating it relates to computer systems design and related services, and is open exclusively to firms certified as historically underutilized businesses seeking to engage in subcontracting roles. The posting date is July 9, 2026, with a deadline for responses set for July 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, providing a two-week window for interested parties to submit their interest or proposals. The contract does not specify a particular project or prime contractor, and no physical location for performance is indicated, suggesting this is a standing opportunity for certified firms to position themselves for future subcontracting roles under DHHS initiatives across North Carolina. There is no assigned set-aside type or detailed description of the procurement structure, meaning participation is likely contingent upon matching qualified subcontractors with emerging prime contracts under the HUB program. Interested firms should verify their certification status and prepare documentation demonstrating their eligibility under the state’s HUB guidelines.
