Int 1005-2015 AElizabeth S. Crowley Amended and Coupled on GORequiring agency minority and women-owned business enterprise utilization plans to be published online.IntroductionCurrently, each agency that made more than $5 million in procurements in the previous fiscal year is required to submit a utilization plan for the following fiscal year to the Department of Small Business Services (SBS).

Int 1019-2015 AHelen K.

Currently, SBS and MOCS submit within their annual M/WBE report a list of all solicitations sent to the city chief procurement officer for review, and a summary of the determination made whether to divide the proposed contract.
