An email notification is sent to the Main HUB Contact when a vendor becomes eligible for re-certification. A vendor is eligible for recertification if their HUB Certification is already expired or if their HUB Certification Status Reason is ‘Approved - Current Term Active’ but the Certification End Date is within 60 days. Another email notification will be sent when the Certification End Date is within 30 days. Once a certification reaches its expiration date, there will be a grace period of 30 days to begin the recertification process.
