Our Government Contracts group has created four guides specific to federal contracting as a minority-owned small business. Minority-owned businesses often face unique challenges in the public procurement process due to systemic barriers embedded in the process. These barriers affect minority-owned business at all stages of the process—from solicitation and bidding to completion—and put these businesses at a disadvantage compared to their counterparts. Even after accounting for fewer minority-owned businesses, the share of government contracts won by other firms has remained disproportionate to their share of the industry.
