MBE/WBE Subcontracting Participation

Certified Minority Business Enterprises and Women Business Enterprises are invited to participate in trade scopes under this subcontracting opportunity issued by the City of Hartford, with a mandatory requirement that 15 percent of the total project costs be allocated to subcontractors certified under the City’s SC/MWBE program. This initiative is designed to promote equitable economic participation by ensuring that local minority- and women-owned businesses have measurable access to contracting opportunities tied to the project. The solicitation, posted on November 9, 2018, with a response deadline of November 29, 2018, applies specifically to work classified under NAICS code 238160, which pertains to plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. Participation is open to all eligible MBE/WBE firms regardless of trade scope, and the obligation to meet the 15 percent subcontracting goal rests with the prime contractor awarding the worksite. The project is performed within the jurisdiction of Hartford, Connecticut, and interested firms must be certified through the City’s official SC/MWBE program to qualify for inclusion in the required subcontracting plan.
