The HUB Program by the TVC promotes equal opportunities for businesses that have been historically underutilized. To qualify for HUB certification, a business must be a for-profit entity, primarily operating in Texas, and majority-owned by a U.S. citizen who is a Texas resident and belongs to a historically underutilized group.
Once certified, the business gains exposure to solicitation opportunities with state agencies and universities. The TVC also offers a Mentor-Protégé program to foster relationships between prime vendors and HUB vendors, enhancing their ability to contract with the State of Texas.
