Minority And Women-Owned Business Enterprise Certification Services

The government authority in Missouri requires a vendor to provide minority and women-owned business enterprise certification services. The requested scope includes reviewing local firm eligibility, screening applications and supporting documents, obtaining applicant information via application Q&A sections, and conducting desk audits alongside virtual or on-site interviews. The selected vendor must issue supplemental questionnaires, analyze findings regarding group membership, ownership, control, and locality, and defend recommendations before the Program Review Committee. Additional responsibilities include investigating third-party complaints, presenting complaint findings, and delivering written-directed services such as training, technical assistance, and certification promotion. Only United States organizations are eligible for this opportunity, and the vendor will perform the work offsite. The buyer seeks proposals for the budget. Interested bidders must submit all questions no later than October 2, 2026.
