The
Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program was created to promote full and equal procurement opportunities for small minority- and women-owned
businesses. Companies interested in doing business with the state are encouraged
to become HUB certified. This is accomplished by completing an
application and
submitting it to the Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts (CPA). Once approved, the company
is considered “certified” and agencies using them on contracts receive credit
toward meeting established HUB goals. The HUB Program is a state level program
required by law (Texas Statutes Gov’t. Code, Chapter 2161) that is managed by
the CPA.
