The Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) Signs Historic Agreement to Secure Over $100 Billion in Procurement Opportunities

The Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC) and notable Texas State Agencies and Universities announced that they intend to sign an historic and unprecedented agreement worth potentially $100 Billion. In a public signing ceremony on June 24, 2008, at the Texas State Capitol, TAMACC Executive Board Members, key state legislators and university officials, will sign a Memorandum of Understanding for procurement opportunities.

“This is a historic moment for TAMACC and Texas state agencies and universities,” said Ms. Arcilia Acosta, TAMACC Chair. “It is historic because of the cooperation between TAMACC and these state entities, and the amount of money that will be available to qualified Texas D/M/W/BE firms. We hope that all qualified businesses will take advantage of this opportunity.”
The Memorandum of Understanding provides for an exchange of information concerning procurement and other opportunities with Texas agencies and universities totaling over $100 Billion. Texas universities will provide the procurement opportunities and information, while TAMACC provides qualified D/M/W/BE firms.

Mr. Frank Cortez, TAMACC President & CEO, noted that the business climate in Texas is right for this type agreement. “We have worked hard and are well positioned for our member firms to take advantage of these business opportunities. I think you’re going to see a lot of excited business owners at our state convention later this month as we roll-out additional information on this new development.”

Notable state agencies and universities participating in the Memorandum of Understanding include: Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas A&M University, Texas Health & Human Services Commission, Texas Tech University and The University of Texas at Austin.
