Minority Owned Business

We are a Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (“Commission” or “WSSC”) Small Local Business Enterprise (“SLBE”) Program participant.  The SLBE and MBE Programs are supported by WSSC’s recently completed 2015 Disparity Study and other informational services.

MBE (Minority Business Enterprise)

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program encourages minority-owned firms to participate in the State procurement process.  Current MBE law requires agencies to make every effort to achieve an overall minimum goal of 29% of the total dollar value of their procurement contracts directly or indirectly from certified MBE firms. In furtherance of the State’s MBE initiative, each State agency reviews and assesses its procurements for supplies, services, maintenance, construction and architectural/engineering contracts to determine an MBE participation goal appropriate for each contract.

Veteran Owned Business

We are a certified veteran owned small business backed by the  Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) who promotes the maximum utilization of Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) as practicable.  Under the Veterans First program, VA contract specialists conduct market research in an effort to seek out VOSB firms to meet their needs.  VA is the only agency which sets a goal and which tracks participation of VOSBs.
