Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) Clause Samples

The Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) clause requires that a certain portion of work or procurement under a contract be performed by businesses owned by minorities or women. Typically, this clause sets specific participation goals or mandates that contractors make good faith efforts to engage certified M/WBE firms for subcontracting, supplies, or services. Its core function is to promote diversity and equal opportunity in contracting, helping to address historical disparities and foster inclusion in business activities.
