The goal of the OAG's HUB program is to increase procurement opportunities for minority, woman-owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran businesses. The program includes components designed to increase awareness, provide education, and encourage participation by actively working with both agency staff and the vendor community.
In accordance with Texas Government Code, Chapter §2161, the OAG seeks to:
- Assist businesses in obtaining state HUB certification.
- Educate HUB vendors about the agency's procurement policies and procedures.
- Increase the number of HUB vendors contacted for procurement opportunities.
- Encourage HUB vendors to participate in the agency's purchasing process.
- Inform HUB vendors about OAG procurement opportunities.
- Ensure that prime contractors provide subcontracting opportunities for HUB vendors.
