Historically Underutilized Business Program

About Us

The Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program at Texas A&M University is committed to promoting the inclusion of HUB vendors in university procurements while advocating the importance of supplier diversity. We aim to promote equal procurement opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses. These programs encourage government entities to contract with underutilized businesses, fostering economic growth and diversity. Texas A&M is making the good faith effort to meet or exceed the HUB goals established in Texas Administrative Code §20.281.

Our educational efforts, workshops, and training extend to all Texas A&M buying personnel and minority and woman-owned businesses statewide.

The HUB Program Office is located in the Purchasing and Stores Building on Agronomy Road.
