The mission of the HUB program is to provide guidance and assistance to historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) and Small Contractors to afford these businesses a fair opportunity to participate in the competitive procurement process. The TFC fulfills our mission through outreach efforts, such as education and training in doing business with the State of Texas and especially the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC).

Who qualifies to be a Historically Underutilized Business?

To be considered a HUB business, the owner of the business must be from an economically disadvantage group and show proof of 51 percent ownership and control of the day-to-day operation of the business.  The Texas Statewide HUB program manages the HUB certification process.

HUB Certification

Vendors who are interested in HUB certification can get detailed information at Statewide HUB Program. This link will provide detailed information on certification qualifications and benefits of the HUB Program. If you have any questions on HUB Certification, please contact the Statewide HUB Program or call 888-863-5881.

Application for HUB certification should be submitted to the Comptroller of Public Accounts' Statewide HUB Program.

TFC does not manage the HUB certification process.

HUB certification is not required to do business with TFC; however, all HUB eligible businesses are highly encouraged to apply for certification.
