Minority and Disadvantage Businesses Need Your Help! The unfair history on contract distribution must stop!.
Why is this important?
As a registered Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) for state and federal contracts, Prime Contractors are able to seek "waivers for minority participation" and subcontracting opportunities. Prime Contractors are submitting waivers without the knowledge of certified MBE and DBE businesses. Although there are contracts that seek MBE and DBE participation, these waivers are being abused by Prime Contractors. State and Federal governments should "require" MBE and DBE participation and not allow waivers. This would allow MBE and DBE business to succeed in the market place, increase employment opportunities, increase revenue, and become leaders in their communities.
