State Initiatives

5.2.1 Diversity in Contracting

The State of Florida is committed to supporting its diverse business industry and population through ensuring participation by minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises in the economic life of the state. The State of Florida Mentor Protégé Program connects minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises with private corporations for business development mentoring. We strongly encourage firms doing business with the State of Florida to consider this initiative. For more information on the Mentor Protégé Program, please contact the Office of Supplier Diversity at (850) 487-0915.

The state is dedicated to fostering the continued development and economic growth of small, minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises. Participation by a diverse group of Vendors doing business with the state is central to this effort. To this end, it is vital that small, minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises participate in the state’s procurement process as both Contractors and sub-contractors in this Contract. Small, minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises are strongly encouraged to contribute to this Contract.

The Contractor shall submit documentation addressing diversity and describing the efforts being made to encourage the participation of small, minority-, women-, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises to the Department’s Contract Manager, or designee.
