HUB Program Compliance and Subcontracting Support

The contract provides an opportunity for Historically Underutilized Business HUB certified firms to serve as subcontractors in delivering professional services under a prime contract issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The goal is to support compliance with the Texas HUB program by fostering meaningful participation from certified minority, women, and other underrepresented business owners. This subcontracting arrangement is tied to NAICS code 541990 which covers other professional scientific and technical services and requires firms to actively engage in providing professional services that align with the prime contractor’s scope of work. Participation is contingent upon HUB certification and adherence to Texas state requirements designed to promote equitable economic opportunities in public contracting. The solicitation is open with a response deadline of July 21 2026 and is accessible through the Texas SmartBuy portal. There is no set aside designation and no specific office address or point of contact provided beyond the state level. The place of performance is not specified which may allow for flexibility across Texas but requires subcontractors to coordinate logistics with the prime contractor. While the contract does not outline financial thresholds or performance metrics it emphasizes the importance of HUB involvement to meet state compliance goals. Interested firms must ensure certification is current and monitor the online portal for any updates or additional requirements prior to submitting their response.
