About this file
This document is a Minority, Women, and Disabled-Owned Business Concern Representation form from Rockford Public School District No. 205, designed to promote diversity and inclusion in procurement processes. The form requires offerors to self-identify their business ownership status, specifically whether they are minority-owned, women-owned, or disabled-owned businesses. Businesses must meet specific ownership and operational criteria, including being at least 51% owned and controlled by members of the designated groups.
The document outlines procedures for identifying and soliciting minority-owned businesses, including placing them on solicitation lists, ensuring they are invited to bid, considering consortia arrangements for larger contracts, and making contracting opportunities accessible. The form provides checkboxes for various minority groups (African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian-Pacific American, Asian Indian American) and ownership categories (women-owned, disabled-owned). The district relies on written representations of business ownership status and requires offerors to complete and return this form with their bid, with the understanding that failure to do so may render the bid unacceptable.

ROCKFORD PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 205
MINORITY, WOMEN and DISABLED-OWNED BUSINESS CONCERN REPRESENTATION
Minority-Owned Business: a minority-owned business concern means a business concern that: (1) is at least 51 percent unconditionally owned by one or more individuals who are considered to be a member of a minority group, or a publicly owned business having at least 51 percent of its stock unconditionally owned by one or more members of a minority group; and (2) has its management and daily business controlled and operated by one or more such individuals. Individuals who certify that they are members of minority groups (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Asian-Indian Americans, and other minorities) are to be considered minority-owned enterprises.
Women-Owned Business: a business that is at least 51 percent owned by a woman or women who also control and operate it.
Disabled Owned Business: a business that is at least 51 percent owned by a person or persons with severe physical or mental disabilities which substantially limits one or more of the person’s major life activities and which person or persons control and operate such business.
“Control” in this referenced context means exercising the power to make policy decisions. “Operate” means being actively involved in the day- to-day management of the business.
The District shall rely on written representations of concerns regarding their status as minority/women/disabled-owned businesses. Offeror agrees to submit information regarding the minority ownership of its subcontractors on request of District.
