The contract requires the development of a comprehensive Small and Minority-Owned Business Participation Plan aligned with Texas HUB program requirements, focusing on outreach strategies, measurable subcontracting goals, and structured reporting mechanisms to ensure compliance. The plan must be designed to actively engage and integrate certified Historically Underutilized Businesses into procurement and project execution processes, with clear procedures for identifying, soliciting, and tracking participation from minority-owned and small businesses throughout the project lifecycle. The effort is being solicited by the Texas Department of Public Safety under NAICS code 541611, with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, and is classified as a subcontract opportunity. While no specific set-aside type or location details are provided, the plan must fully adhere to state-mandated HUB standards and demonstrate a robust framework for accountability, monitoring, and documentation of vendor participation. All deliverables must be submitted through the designated Texas SmartBuy portal, ensuring alignment with state procurement policies and transparency in fostering economic inclusion.
