HUB Procurement Spot Bid Fair: May 23-24


The 2023 “Doing Business Texas Style” Spot Bid Fair, sponsored by State Senator Royce West, will be held May 23-24, 2023, in Irving, TX. The Spot Bid Fair provides procurement opportunities for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) to connect with major Texas corporations and government agencies. The UTA HUB program<https://www.uta.edu/business-affairs/hub/> will partake in the spot bid fair and would like to invite your department to participate.


UT System Chancellor James Milliken and Executive Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Jonathan Pruitt strongly encourage our participation in the event. The Spot Bid Fair provides an excellent opportunity for UTA to demonstrate our commitment to the State’s goals for HUB participation by increasing purchases and contract awards to HUBs.


If interested, please consider your departmental requirements that can be awarded during the Spot Bid Fair – especially Pro-Card purchases. The following examples are items previously advertised at Spot Bid Fairs:


· Office supply products

· Lab supplies

· Computer peripherals

· Promotional items - t-shirts, caps, pencils, etc.


Please send your procurement information to Mario Ramirez<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 12:00 pm, May 10, 2023.

Every purchase awarded to a HUB increases our efforts to achieve the University’s goals and develop mutually beneficial business relationships with the community we serve.

If you have questions on what can be sourced at the event, feel free to contact your dedicated Buyer or Mario Ramirez<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
