Establishing MBE/WBE Status Sample Clauses

The "Establishing MBE/WBE Status" clause defines the process by which a business entity demonstrates its status as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE). Typically, this involves submitting documentation or certification from a recognized authority to verify that the business is owned and controlled by minorities or women. This clause applies to contracts or procurement processes where participation by MBEs or WBEs is encouraged or required. Its core function is to ensure that only qualified businesses receive the benefits or preferences associated with MBE/WBE status, thereby promoting diversity and inclusion in contracting.
Establishing MBE/WBE Status. A. A minority owned business shall be considered an MBE only if it has been certified as a minority business enterprise by the Supplier Diversity Office (“SDO”). B. A woman owned business shall be considered a WBE only if it has been certified as a woman business enterprise by SDO. C. Certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise (“DBE”), certification as an MBE/WBE by any agency other than SDO, or submission of an application to SDO for certification as an M/BEWBE shall not confer MBE/WBE status on a firm for the purposes of this Contract. Please note that only firms SDO certified as MBE or WBEs can be credited toward meeting project MBE or WBE goals.
