Program Overview | Objectives | Eligibility | Bidder's List and Application Process |
The Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program on UT Health Science Center at Houston was established to identify Historically Underutilized Businesses and encourage them to participate in the competitive bid process with the objective of increasing the number of contracts awarded to HUB vendors.The information on this web site has been prepared to familiarize one with UTHSC-H's HUB Program. This information will help one better understand the university's organization and provide one with the information necessary to make successful business transactions.
UTHSC-H's Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program objectives are:
* Absentee or titular ownership (owners who do not actively control the business) by the eligible owner(s) is not consistent with HUB eligibility standards.HUB CERTIFICATION IS FREE OF CHARGE AND CAN BE RENEWED EVERY 4 YEARS
Bidders List, Application and Certification Process To participate in UTHSC-H¡¯s HUB program one must complete and submit a HUB certification application to the Texas Procurement and Support Services(TPASS).
Your business will be listed in the TPASS HUB Business Directory and will be distributed to more than 650 state agency purchasers throughout Texas, including the University of Texas System components.The directory is also distributed to private industry purchasers to increase opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses. UTHSC-H will increase the participation of historically underutilized businesses in the purchasing process. This will be done by selecting bids or proposals submitted by those businesses whenever their bids or proposals are comparable to all other bids or proposals received by UTHSC-H and whenever such a selection will not conflict with state or federal law.To assist participation by minority and women owned businesses, the UTHSC-H Purchasing Dept. will:
The 76th Legislation strengthened the HUB subcontracting requirements imposed upon state agencies, which flow down to vendors. UTHSC-H¡¯s purchasing professionals determine the probability for HUB subcontracting opportunities and identify their contracts that must include a HUB Subcontracting Plan for all orders deemed as such and has expected value of $100,00 or more.Once a solicitation has been reviewed and determined to have subcontracting potential, vendors, both HUB and non-HUBS¡¯s, must submit a valid HUB Plan with their bid, proposal, offer or an expression of interest, to be considered responsive. If the HUB Subcontracting Plan is not completed, the bid is considered non-responsive. At that time, the process ends for that vendor.Details regarding the submission are listed within the first few pages of the HUB Plan. After the award of the contract, UTHSC-H¡¯s buyer for the contract and the HUB Coordinator ensure compliance.
