Small Business Subcontracting and Reporting Compliance

Houston City College requires prime contractors to ensure certified small, minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged businesses participate in subcontracting efforts and provide complete compliance documentation to meet established subcontracting goals. These businesses must be properly certified and submit all required paperwork to verify their status and involvement in the contract, ensuring adherence to federal and state subcontracting benchmarks. The solicitation is open for responses until August 31, 2026, and is administered through the Texas SmartBuy procurement platform, with all performance activities tied to the college’s operational needs in Texas. Participation is mandatory for contractors aiming to fulfill affirmative action and diversity contracting obligations under this agreement.
