The solicitation includes set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises with participation goals of 8 percent for Minority Business Enterprises, 11 percent for Women Business Enterprises, and 3 percent for Indiana Veteran Owned Small Businesses, though failure to meet these goals does not negatively impact proposal evaluation.
