About this file
This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Participation Acknowledgment form issued by the Division of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Minority Business Enterprise Compliance Office of the State of Rhode Island, applicable to MPA 138 FY27 Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Repairs. The form requires prime contractors to acknowledge and confirm compliance with Rhode Island General Laws 37-14.1 et al., which mandates the inclusion of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise (VBE) certified businesses in all state-funded and state-directed public construction programs, projects, and purchases. Contractors must certify their business status as MBE, WBE, VBE, or N/A, and upon contract award, are obligated to submit executed agreements with subcontractors, provide monthly compliance reports documenting payments to minority-owned subcontractors, and immediately notify the MBE Compliance Office of any changes to vendors, subcontractors, suppliers, or change orders.
The acknowledgment form requires contractors to initial five key compliance sections confirming their understanding of MBE/WBE participation requirements, subcontractor documentation obligations, monthly reporting requirements, notification of vendor or subcontractor changes, and potential sanctions for non-compliance. Rhode Island's procurement regulations establish a minimum of 15 percent of the dollar value of an entire procurement or project must be awarded to MBE/WBE certified businesses. Non-compliance with these acknowledged conditions may result in a determination of non-compliance and sanctions under Rhode Island General Laws 37-14.1 et al. The form must be signed by an authorized signatory of the prime contractor under penalty of perjury.
