For minority- and woman-owned businesses
If you’re a small, minority or woman owned business that has been trying to obtain more government contracts for your company, the MWBE certification program could be the missing piece you’ve been looking for. The MWBE certification is the single most widely used and accepted certification for contracting and subcontracting at a state & local level.
Every state agency can purchase from MWBE vendor, and almost all have mandatory spending goals for MWBE purchasing.
Beyond state agencies, most counties and cities are also authorized to utilize state certifications to meet their spending goals, and some are required to.
Spending goals can differ by state, though most state agencies generally spend close to 20% of their annual contract budget with MBE & WBE vendors.
Any established woman-owned or minority-owned business that is selling goods or services that could have potential for success in the government market should pursue their state’s MBE, WBE or MWBE certification.
SUBCONTRACING
Possibly the best benefit of all to small businesses, all states that offer MBE or WBE certifications will have subcontracting goals for primes to meet. When prime contractors receive larger projects that often cannot be competed on by smaller businesses, the prime will have a mandatory MWBE subcontracting goal, generally between 5-15% of the project. This can often mean companies reaching out to you, asking you if you would be willing to participate on a government project to help them meet their sub goals.
