2025 HUB Huddle & Expo

The Texas Facilities Commission’s HUB program is excited to announce our Annual HUB Huddle and Expo.

The TFC HUB Program is excited to host this year's 2025 HUB Huddle & Expo. The Expo will represent TFC's Mission to BUILD, MAINTAIN, and SUPPORT over 28 million square feet of office, garage, and warehouse spaces. 

We fulfill our mission through outreach efforts, such as education and training in doing business with the State of Texas and specifically the Texas Facilities Commission.

The 2025 HUB EXPO will be an exciting opportunity for businesses and professionals to connect, learn, and grow. This year's event features a comprehensive session with the CPA-Statewide HUB Program on HUB certification, valuable insights into certification process, maintaining certifications, and bid opportunity research strategies. Additionally, the Job Order Contract (JOC) session presented by Gordian will offer an in-depth look at how agencies are leveraging JOC contracts to fast-track projects, discuss vendor pool selection processes, and announce upcoming Texas Facilities Commission bid opportunities to expand the agency's JOC contract portfolio. 

Join us for a day of networking, learning, and exploring new business opportunities.
