UT System Office of HUB Programs

Our mission is to encourage the use of Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) in support of the operations of U. T. System Administration and the U. T. System institutions.  The purpose of the HUB program is to promote full and equal business opportunities for all businesses. The U. T. System HUB Office is committed to the goal of increasing participation of service-disabled veteran in state purchasing and contracts while providing education on our procurement processes.  We serve as a resource on HUB processes, rules and requirements to UT System Administration and UT System institution offices.  It is our goal to foster efficient, effective, and mutually beneficial working relationships with UT System offices while complying with all relevant State of Texas rules, laws, and UT System Board policies. 

The UT System Office of HUB Programs is a department of UT System Administration that is responsible for managing compliance with the HUB requirements for U. T. System administration contracts, purchasing, and expenditures.  It also provides UT systemwide institution support of the HUB program through its subject matter expertise, outreach programs, and expenditure data analysis.  

General procurement is decentralized meaning each institution purchases its own goods and services independently from UT System Administration.  Each UT System institution has a HUB department and HUB Coordinators who are available to help navigate the institution procurement process and introduce HUB firms to key procurement staff at their institution.  For a list of HUB coordinators by institution, click the link in the navigation bar at the left, "Institution HUB Coordinators & Links".  On this page you will also find a link to each institution HUB Program page.
