HUB Certification

If you are eligible, but not yet certified as a HUB:

Certified HUB subcontractors have reported a substantial increase in invitations to bid on Texas Tech projects since the HUB program started. State certification as a HUB will increase your business' visibility with general contractors and others trying to win State contracts and provide you with a broader range of opportunities. The process for becoming certified, while it does require gathering some information, is generally not complicated. For additional information on becoming certified as a HUB, please visit the Texas Procurement and Support Services.

We can help you get certified. For more information and assistance, contact:
