Contracts Search makes it easier to find small, veteran and OMWBE-certified vendors

DES modified our statewide contract search to make it easier for purchasers to find small businesses, veteran-owned and OMWBE-certified vendors. 

The enterprise supplier diversity policy requires all state agencies to increase their goods and services purchases with Washington state small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses. 

This update sorts those businesses at the top of the list. The OMWBE column tells users if there are vendors available in each certification category - Minority, Women or Minority Women.
