Program Goals
The City of Orlando has established goals of 18% minority and 6% women-owned business participation for goods, service and construction contracts where minority or women-owned business bid and meet contract specifications. Adjustments to the goals are made for material oriented specialty contracts.

Comparable MBE and WBE goals have been established for minority and women group employment and sub-contract participation.

The MBE Program is intended to increase the opportunity for minority firms to participate in city procurement. The program is administered by the Minority Business Enterprise Office. An education and outreach effort, the program identifies and registers minority and women firms interested in supplying goods and services to the city. Program activities include seminars, workshops and individualized consultation to inform M/WBE firms of city procurement policies and procedures. There are over 400 business opportunities with the City of Orlando.
