About the HUB Program
The Texas A&M University System (System Offices) is committed to a business program of advocacy, education, knowledge, development and utilization that will achieve Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) procurement participation.
The HUB program is a State of Texas initiative to promote full and equal business opportunities for all businesses in an effort to remedy disparity in state procurement and contracting in accordance with the HUB utilization goals specified in the State of Texas Disparity Study. A HUB is an entity as defined within Texas Government Code, Title 10, Subtitle D, Chapter 2161.
The System Offices HUB Program ensures the system’s good faith effort to include HUB businesses in its procurement efforts. This good faith effort involves evaluating and determining subcontracting opportunities, administering the mentor/protégé program, participating in marketing and outreach efforts to promote contracting and subcontracting opportunities in an effort to achieve HUB participation, and reporting HUB expenditures to the Texas State Comptroller in accordance with statute.
For more information about the State of Texas HUB Program, view the Texas Administrative Code rules governing the HUB Program.
The System Offices HUB Program is responsible to:
- Identify and champion relationship-building opportunities with HUBs to support the procurement needs of the System Offices
- Host, sponsor, and attend forums, fairs, and events to establish and cultivate relationships with HUBs
- Develop and implement the System Offices’ HUB Program initiatives
- Administer the System Offices’ Mentor/Protégé Program in accordance with statute
- Provide training and guidance on the State of Texas’s HUB Program requirements to System Members and staff
