Municipal & Public Sector
Built to Municipal Procurement Standards
Public work is decided on bonding capacity, safety record, licensing and whether you can survive the paperwork — not on a brochure. Here is where we actually stand on each of those, including the parts we cannot claim.
Reference Project
City of Hugo Maintenance Building
A 5,000 square foot pre-engineered steel maintenance building for the City of Hugo, Oklahoma, delivered for the City of Hugo through the city's procurement and inspection.
This is our one municipal delivery to date, and we would rather name it and let you verify it than imply a portfolio we do not have. If your evaluation needs a reference call, this is the one to make.

Licensing
Where We Are Licensed, and Where No License Exists
Two of the three states we build in do not license general contractors at all. Saying so plainly is more useful to an evaluator than a blanket claim that falls apart on verification.
Texas
Texas issues no state general contractor license. We register and permit through each local authority. Projects subject to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act with an estimated construction cost of $50,000 or more must be registered with TDLR, reviewed by a Registered Accessibility Specialist, and inspected within one year of completion.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma issues no state general contractor license either. We hold the City of Oklahoma City Building Residential Contractor license (CR-37328-L). Our Oklahoma public-sector reference is the City of Hugo maintenance building, delivered for the city through its procurement and inspection.
Arkansas
Arkansas Residential Builder License No. 0465660226, which covers single-family residential work; Arkansas licenses commercial contracting separately. Contact us for scope-specific licensing verification before a bid deadline rather than after.
Building outside these three states? Our Division President passed the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors, which twenty licensing agencies across 17 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands accept in place of their own trade exam. If your solicitation needs us licensed somewhere we are not yet, that is a filing rather than a re-examination, and we will pursue it for the work.
Common Questions
Procurement Questions
- Have you delivered public-sector work before?
- Yes — one municipal project to date: a 5,000 square foot maintenance building for the City of Hugo, Oklahoma, delivered through the city's procurement and inspection. We would rather name the one and let you check it than imply a portfolio we do not have.
- Can you meet bonding requirements on a public bid?
- Single-project bonding to $10,000,000 and an aggregate program above $25,000,000, through a nationally recognized A-rated surety. Bid, performance and payment bonds are available, and prequalification for a new opportunity is typically completed within 48 hours.
- Do you handle Texas Architectural Barriers registration?
- Yes. Projects subject to the Texas Architectural Barriers Act with an estimated construction cost of $50,000 or more must be registered with TDLR, reviewed by a Registered Accessibility Specialist, and inspected within one year of completion. We run that process as part of the work rather than treating it as the owner's problem, and we flag it during preconstruction so it never becomes a schedule surprise.
- Are you a certified veteran-owned business for set-aside purposes?
- UTS BuildPros is veteran-owned and veteran-led — our Division President served 11 years in the Army, and two of our project managers are a retired First Sergeant and a 20-year combat arms veteran. We are not currently claiming SBA Veteran Small Business Certification, which is the certification that governs federal set-asides. If your solicitation requires it, ask us and we will tell you exactly where we stand rather than guess.
- What is your safety record?
- An Experience Modification Rate of 0.81 for 2026, and below 1.0 in each of the last three years (0.70, 0.59, 0.81). All field supervisors hold active OSHA 30-Hour Construction Outreach training. We are ISNetworld A-rated and Avetta credentialed, and both are verifiable by your procurement team directly rather than on our say-so.
Have a Solicitation Open?
Send it over with the bid date. We will tell you within a day whether we are a credible bidder for it — including when the answer is no, which saves you an evaluation and saves us a proposal.
