HUB/Small Business Subcontracting Coordination

The contract supports the prime contractor in actively engaging Historically Underutilized Businesses within the supply chain, with a focus on facilitating their participation in subcontracting roles. It requires systematic certification tracking of HUBs to ensure compliance with applicable state and federal goals, along with accurate and timely reporting on subcontracting efforts to demonstrate meaningful inclusion and outreach. The effort is tied to NAICS code 541611, indicating an emphasis on management consulting services, and is administered by the Texas Department of State Health Services to promote equitable economic opportunities in the state’s procurement ecosystem. The solicitation is open for responses until August 5, 2026, and is structured as a subcontracting coordination opportunity, meaning the selected entity will serve in an advisory or administrative capacity rather than direct service delivery. There is no specified set-aside classification, and performance is expected to align with the agency’s broader goals of enhancing HUB participation across its operations. All activities must be coordinated in accordance with state-specific HUB program requirements, and the contractor will be responsible for maintaining documentation, ensuring vendor certification validity, and producing reports that validate progress toward subcontracting diversity targets.
