HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) Development & Compliance

The contract requires the development, submission, and ongoing management of a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan for all applicable contracts exceeding $100,000, with a clear focus on ensuring meaningful participation from HUB and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms. The plan must be actively administered throughout the contract lifecycle to comply with state requirements, including tracking subcontractor performance, maintaining documentation, and demonstrating progress toward established HUB/DBE participation goals. Failure to meet these obligations may result in noncompliance consequences, and the contractor is responsible for timely reporting and proactive engagement with certified HUB/DBE firms to meet or exceed targets. This engagement is tied to a Texas Department of Transportation initiative under NAICS code 541611, which relates to management consulting services, and the solicitation is open through July 10, 2026. The work will be performed across the state of Texas with no specified city or location restrictions, and the contractor must align all activities with Texas state procurement policies regarding HUB inclusion. The program demands a structured approach to subcontracting that promotes diversity, accountability, and transparency, with ongoing compliance obligations extending beyond initial plan approval to include regular monitoring and adjustments as project needs evolve.
