Diversity Reporting and Compliance Support (MBE/WBE/SDVE)

The contract requires monthly reporting on subcontracting expenditures directed toward minority-owned, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, as well as organizations serving the blind or operating sheltered workshops. The vendor must track and document all spending with these entities, ensuring accurate data collection and adherence to diversity compliance standards. This includes maintaining detailed records, validating vendor certifications, and providing clear, auditable reports that reflect the extent and impact of subcontracting efforts aimed at fostering inclusive economic participation. Performance is tied to consistent and timely submission of reports that align with regulatory expectations and demonstrate active engagement with targeted disadvantaged business groups. The effort is governed under NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services, and falls under the procurement authority of Missouri’s Division of Purchasing. All submissions must meet strict deadlines, with the response due by July 29, 2026, and the contract opportunity posted on July 8, 2026. The work will be conducted under a subcontract structure without a specified set-aside designation, placing emphasis on accurate data reporting rather than competitive bidding criteria.
