CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR MINORITY- AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES (MWBs)
To accomplish our mission of providing quality, affordable housing opportunities to low- and moderate-income Delawareans, DSHA actively seeks vendors from which we can purchase goods and services. We are especially interested in increasing our business partnership opportunities with minority- and women-owned businesses.
As the bulk of DSHA contracting opportunities are under the small purchase threshold of $25,000, we are particularly interested in talking to firms located in Delaware's Kent and Sussex Counties, in addition to other firms located in New Castle County and outside Delaware.
DSHA maintains a reference guide called the Directory of Minority and Women Business Enterprise Contractors.
We use the directory to locate vendors when we need to purchase goods and service. Many contractors are invited to bid several times per year on contracts for goods and services (in excess of $25,000) that support affordable housing opportunities that we develop in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The directory is also used by non-minority contractors to hire subcontractors.
If your business is not already included in this in-house resource, you may wish to register with us. For more information, please contact John Conley at 302.739.4263.
