The
Bureau of Minority and Women Business Opportunities (BMWBO) provides
the necessary information and inspiration for their customers,
the women and minority business owners, to compete for and participate
in the state contracting process. The office certifies minority
and women businesses based on ownership criteria and teaches these
business owners how to pursue the opportunities available through
state contracting. In addition, the office administers the statewide
contract compliance program which ensures that suppliers and contractors
are not discriminatory in hiring, firing and subcontracting arrangements. |
