1. Introduction

CPRIT EPA* Reports that are submitted to the United States government on a federal level to account for businesses that are utilized by UT Austin and are considered a “Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.” There are two categories that are reported, Minority Owned Businesses (MBE) and Women Owned Businesses (WBE). According to the EPA Website:

Recipients must complete EPA Form 5700-52A to report MBE/WBE utilization under EPA assistance agreements when the combined total of funds budgeted for procuring supplies, equipment, construction or services exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Annual reports are due by October 30th of each year. Final reports are due by October 30th or 90 days after the end of the project period, whichever comes first.

Therefore, it is up to the HUB/SB Program office to assist the Office of Sponsored projects to complete their request so that they may adequately report on MBE/WBE utilization.

* CPRIT stands for “Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.”  EPA stands for “Environmental Protection Agency.”
