Historically Underutilized Business(HUB)
Mentor/Protégé Program
In accordance with Texas Government Code, Section 2161.065, and 34 TAC §20.28 the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is implementing a mentor-protégé program.
The State of Texas HUB mentor-protégé program is designed to foster long-term relationships between prime contractors (mentors) and historically underutilized businesses (protégés) and to increase the ability of historically underutilized businesses to contract with the state or to receive subcontracts under a state contract. The objective of this Mentor Protégé Program is to provide professional guidance and support to the protégé to facilitate their development and growth. Program features are flexible so as to maximize participation. All participation is voluntary.
In determining the eligibility and selection of a mentor, TREC will consider, as applicable, the following criteria:
- Registration with the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL).
- Ability to provide developmental guidance in areas that meet the needs of the protégé.
- In "good standing" in doing business with the State of Texas
- Previous mentoring experience.
- A successful past work history with the State of Texas.
In determining the eligibility and selection of HUB protégés, TREC will consider, as applicable, the following criteria:
- Eligibility and willingness to obtain HUB certification.
- Business has been operational for at least one year;
- Desire to participate with a mentoring firm and identify the type of guidance that is needed for its development.
- In "good standing" in doing business with the State of Texas.
The Texas Real Estate Commission’s HUB Mentor Protégé Program is neither a guarantee for a contract opportunity nor a promise of business; but the program's intent is to foster positive, long-term, business relationships.
