The University of Texas at Dallas
OP-15: Inclusive and Local Purchasing

http://utsystem.edu/offices/historically-underutilized-business UTD promotes the use of historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) in all of our purchasing and contracting operations. This means we make it a priority to use the services of minority-owned and women-owned businesses. We have also taken further steps in building relationships with minority and women trade organizations. The university has designated a staff member to serve as the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) coordinator for the agency. The HUB coordinator assists the university with the development of the agency's procurement specifications, HUB subcontracting plans, and evaluation of contracts for compliance. The HUB coordinator also assists state agencies and the state comptroller with HUB compliance, facilitating compliance with the agency's good-faith effort criteria, HUB reporting, contract administration, and marketing and outreach efforts for HUB participation. Statewide HUB utilization goals are developed by the Texas State Comptroller’s Office – HUB Reporting. Current HUB goals are: Category Goals Heavy Construction 11.2% Building Construction 21.1% Special Trade 32.7% Professional Services 23.6% Other Services 24.6% Commodities 21%
