Minority and Women Business Enterprise Procurement Opportunities

New York City Promotes the Minority-and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Program. FDNY works to ensure the participation of minority-and women-owned businesses in the New York City procurement process. The program, established by Local Law 129, enhances contracting opportunities and sets participation goals for prime contracts and for subcontracts valued at under one million dollars.

The Fire Department is committed to promoting diversity by working with minority-focused and small business groups that support M/WBE’s inclusion in the solicitation of bids.

Firms that have been in business for over one year and that are at least 51% owned by a minority or woman are eligible for certification.
