Historically Underutilized Businesses
The University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA), consistent with a statewide
initiative to enhance and expand business opportunities for historically
underutilized businesses, developed and implemented a Historically
Underutilized Business (HUB) Program to encourage full participation of HUB
vendors in all phases of its procurement activities and to afford them a full
and fair opportunity to compete for the UTHSCSA business.
The Director of the HUB
Department administers the HUB Program. The HUB Department seeks to identify
historically underutilized businesses and provides assistance on how to
participate in the competitive bid process for goods and services needed by
the UTHSCSA. Our objective is to increase business opportunities and to
stimulate economic growth. The HUB Department assures that qualified,
certified HUB vendors are considered and utilized in the procurement of goods
and services.
The HUB Department is
conscious of its responsibility in expending public funds in a diverse and
competitive market and maintains an open door policy with all potential
suppliers. Purchasing transactions are completed without regard to race,
color, disability (handicap), sex, religion, age, or national origin.
