Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Participation

The County of Rowan in North Carolina is seeking qualified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) certified by the state to subcontract in providing in-home aide services or administrative support under a prime contract, with the goal of advancing diversity objectives. This opportunity is specifically designed for NC-certified M/WBEs to participate in support roles that align with state-mandated inclusion initiatives, leveraging the NAICS code 621610 for in-home services. Subcontractors must be prepared to meet the performance expectations tied to direct service delivery or operational backend functions that enable the primary contractor to fulfill its obligations. The solicitation is open for responses until July 20, 2026, and was posted on June 25, 2026. While the contract is structured as a subcontract, participation is contingent upon alignment with the prime contractor’s project scope and adherence to state certification requirements. Interested parties should ensure their M/WBE certification is current and active under North Carolina’s program to qualify. There is no specified set-aside type, meaning this is a participation opportunity rather than a competitive bid for the entire contract, and performance will occur within the jurisdictional boundaries of Rowan County. Applicants are encouraged to review the full solicitation details via the provided URL for additional compliance and reporting requirements.
