Find a HUB Vendor

Centralized Master Bidders List

For all purchases totaling over $15,000, buyers must show that they have taken steps to secure a Good Faith Effort in soliciting HUB vendors. A very useful tool for locating HUB vendors is the Texas Centralized Master Bidders List, which is maintained by the state of Texas and is comprised of a mailing list of vendors who are actively competing for state business opportunities. It categorizes vendors using specific commodity/service codes that describe the commodities/services sold and the state highway districts in which they choose to do business.
