It is the policy of The University of Texas System, and each of its component institutions, to promote and encourage contracting and subcontracting opportunities for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) in all contracts. Accordingly, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) has adopted Exhibit E, Policy on Utilization of Historically Underutilized Businesses (included in the Bidding Documents). The Policy applies to all contracts with an expected value of $100,000 or more. If UTHealth determines that subcontracting opportunities are probable, then a HUB Subcontracting Plan (Exhibit E) is a required element of the Bids. Failure to submit a required HUB Subcontracting Plan will result in rejection of the Bids. **The expected value of this ITB is expected to exceed $100,000, and thus a HUB Subcontracting Plan is required.** A HUB Subcontracting Plan ("HSP") is required as part of Proposer's proposal. The HSP will be developed and administered in accordance with University's Policy on Utilization of Historically Underutilized Businesses attached as Exhibit E and incorporated for all purposes.
