OMWBE Form

For recipients of federal awards, it is required that positive efforts be made to utilize small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women's business enterprises, whenever possible (OMB Circular A-110 .44(b)(1)-(5). Even though Washington State Initiative I-200 no longer requires participation, state agencies are encouraged to participate on a voluntary basis whenever possible. It remains the State's authority and duty to identify and remove barriers to equal participation in contracting and purchasing. This helps create and sustain an equitable business environment of all qualified and available businesses owned and controlled by minorities, women and all others who may be socially and economically disadvantaged.

In accordance with the provisions of I-200, no contract award or rejection shall be made based on achievement or non-achievement of the goals. However, as a recipient of federal (and state) funds, the Recipient is encouraged to solicit, recruit and achieve minority and women-owned enterprise participation to the maximum extent possible.
