IX. MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE/ DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTORS

Wisconsin statutes support purchasing goods/service from state certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Disabled Veteran-owned Businesses (DVBs) located in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is committed to the promotion of state certified minority and disabled veteran-owned businesses in the State’s purchasing program.

An MBE means a business certified, or certifiable, by the Wisconsin Department of Administration under Statute 560.036(2). Authority for the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program is found in Wisconsin Statutes 15.107(2), 16.75(3m), and 16.755.

A DVB means a business certified, or certifiable, by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program under Statute 16.283 (3). "Disabled veteran" means a person who is verified by the Department of Veterans Affairs as being all of the following at the time the person applies for certification:

1. A veteran as defined in s. 45.01(12),

2. A resident of this state, and

3. A person who is in receipt of an award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs of a service– connected disability rating under 38 USC 1114 or 1134 of at least 30%.

Bidders who feel that they qualify, should seek certification from the Wisconsin Department of Administration, Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program, and mark “yes” on page 2 of the RFB. Details of program certification are located at: https://wisdp.wi.gov/

Bidders are strongly urged to use due diligence to further this policy by setting up subcontracts to state-certified MBEs and DVBs and/or by using such enterprises to provide goods and services incidental to this contract (second-tier suppliers), with a goal of awarding 5% of the contract cost to such enterprises.

Bidders must submit the attached WisDOT MBE / DVB Program Awareness, Compliance & Action Plan (Attachment B) indicating their proposed utilization of state-certified minority businesses for this contract.

Contact the State’s Minority Business Manager for assistance in locating certified firms at (608) 267-9550. A listing of State of Wisconsin certified minority businesses, as well as the services and commodities they provide, is on the State-certified MBE web site: https://wisdp.wi.gov/Search.aspx.

Monthly reports (Attachment A) are requested to be submitted to WisDOT’s Purchasing Unit via email to dotcentralpurchasing@dot.wi.gov, itemizing the deliveries and cost of items or services provided by certified firms. Reports should state the costs for the previous contract month. The Department reserves the right to verify with listed firms their involvement as subcontractors or second-tier suppliers.
