How will strategic sourcing impact HUBs?
Each RFP requires a HUB Subcontracting Plan to be submitted with the proposals. Vendors are required to contact at least three HUB vendors about subcontracting for the work under the proposed contract that the vendor cannot perform. The CPA will evaluate the HUB Subcontracting Plans to ensure they comply with the “good faith effort” requirements in state law. Also, HUBs are highly encouraged to submit their own proposals on the RFPs, or team with other entities to submit a joint proposal.
