Minority Supplier Program

 

Program Description

The Minority Supplier Program provides services to increase the numbers of minority-owned businesses that compete for competitive public and corporate procurement opportunities, and to bolster the number of contracts successfully obtained by those firms. Services for minority-owned businesses will be provided by the Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City, the Hispanic Chamber of Greater Oklahoma City, and REI Oklahoma.

The Alliance created the Minority Supplier Program to help minority entrepreneurs and businesses know about and compete for corporate and government contracts. The long-term goal of the Minority Supplier Program is to have a wide network of minority-owned businesses in OKC that are able to meet the requirements of larger contracts.

The Alliance is working through three partners: The Urban League of Greater OKC, the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and REI Oklahoma, to help minority suppliers with the following services:

·         Facilitating business certifications that would help businesses qualify for new contracts

·         Providing mentorship to help business owners identify and respond to contracting opportunities

·         Providing accounting assistance and access to bonding/loan products

·         Helping minority-owned businesses secure larger contracts that have collateral requirements

·         Increasing awareness among corporate and government procurement specialists about the network of local, minority suppliers

·         Based in City of Oklahoma City limits

·         Registered with the Oklahoma Secretary of State in the State of Oklahoma prior to March 3, 2021

·         Have 500 or fewer full-time employees

·         51% of the controlling interest must identify as Black, Hispanic, American Indian, or Asia

·         Provide goods or services in an industry that regularly offers opportunities for competitive procurement and contracting
