Small Business (MBE/WBE) Subcontracting Participation

Missouri’s Southwest District is inviting MBE and WBE-certified firms to participate as subcontractors in supply, service, or logistics roles under a prime contract, with their involvement strongly encouraged and considered a favorable factor during evaluation. The opportunity is tied to NAICS code 423830, indicating a focus on wholesale trade of motor vehicle supplies and new parts, and is open for responses until August 6, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 31, 2026. While no specific set-aside designation is provided, the agency actively promotes participation from certified minority and women-owned businesses to foster diversity and inclusion in its procurement processes. All interested firms should submit their proposals through the provided Oracle Cloud link, ensuring alignment with the prime contractor’s requirements and the broader goal of increasing MBE and WBE engagement in transportation-related supply chains.
