Subcontracting Plan Development & Reporting (VetHUB)

The contract requires the development and ongoing management of a subcontracting plan aligned with Texas VetHUB, Minority Business Enterprise, and Women-Owned Business Enterprise participation goals. The successful party must design a comprehensive Exhibit J Subcontracting Plan that ensures meaningful engagement with certified veteran-owned, minority, and women-owned businesses throughout the performance period. This includes establishing measurable goals, identifying qualified subcontractors, and implementing processes to track and demonstrate compliance with state-mandated diversity requirements. Regular Progress Assessment Reports must be prepared and submitted alongside invoices to document attainment of subcontracting targets and provide transparency into vendor performance. Compliance is strictly tied to the North American Industry Classification System code 541611 and is administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture. All deliverables, including reporting and invoicing, must adhere to state-specific protocols and timelines, with submissions expected by the deadline of August 17, 2026. The contract emphasizes accountability through documented progress and financial documentation, ensuring that subcontracting commitments are not only planned but actively fulfilled. Work is performance-based without a specified physical location, and the process is managed through the Texas SmartBuy procurement portal.
