Is the End of DEI the End of HUB?

Texas HUB Certification

Federal DEI vs. State HUB Programs

It is not clear if the new Executive Order that ends Federal funding for DEI programs

could impact companies with Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) certifications. 

Focus of the Orders

The primary target of these orders is to eliminate DEI initiatives within federal agencies

themselves.

The Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program is primarily focused

on increasing contracting opportunities for businesses owned by minorities, women,

veterans, and people with disabilities within the state of Texas.

Indirect HUB Impacts Possibilities 

Reduced Federal Funding: If federal funding for programs that support minority-owned

businesses is significantly cut, it could indirectly impact the overall economic

environment for Texas HUB providers.

Changes in Federal Contracting: Shifts in federal contracting priorities or policies could

have some ripple effects

Recommendation: Keep Calm, Carry On
