Subcontracting Plan Development & Reporting

The contract requires the development and ongoing maintenance of a subcontracting plan to ensure compliance with state-mandated goals for small business participation. The contractor must establish measurable strategies to engage and allocate portions of the work to small businesses, while also implementing systems to track, report, and verify participation data in accordance with Texas state requirements. The plan must be thorough, adaptable, and aligned with the objectives of promoting equitable economic opportunity through subcontracting opportunities. Continuous monitoring and documentation are essential to demonstrate adherence to the program and to fulfill all reporting obligations in a timely and accurate manner. This effort is tied to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and falls under the NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services. The proposal deadline is August 6, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed within Texas, though the precise location is not specified. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the contract is open to all eligible bidders, but the successful contractor must demonstrate a credible and actionable approach to meeting small business utilization targets. Compliance with state reporting protocols is non-negotiable, and failure to meet participation goals or submit required documentation may result in penalties or contract termination.
