A message from the Deputy Commissioner
As Indiana’s Supplier Diversity leader, it is my charge to assist MBE and WBE firms in gaining access to subcontracting opportunities with state government. My greater challenge is to assist in growing Indiana’s economy by helping MBE and WBE firms become more profitable. The Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises Division is working harder than ever before to foster participation by minorities and women in Indiana state government contracts. We are measuring participation more accurately to insure that the goals of the Governor’s Commission on Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises are met and we are implementing corrective action plans when needed. Our supplier diversity team has a plethora of resources to assist you in leveraging your organization’s success. Many of these resources can be found on our website. I encourage you to use these tools to grow your business.
The State of Indiana is committed to helping every Hoosier business succeed and our team looks forward to being part of your success story.

News Flash
- On July 17, the State of Indiana’s Minority and Women’s Enterprises Division will host the 2012 Central Indiana MWBE Resource Fair. The theme for this year’s event is “Positioning Your Business For Growth”. The day will be filled with resources and workshops. Matchmaking sessions will provide scheduled networking opportunities with the State of Indiana’s procurement agents, as well as major companies.
- Everything a Certified MWBE needs to know about the Ohio River Bridges Project is now contained in one page. The final RFP for the Indiana project, the East End Bridge, will be issued in July. Proposals are due in October and the commercial close of the project will be in December.
- The answer to why does my MWBE business need to become a certified DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) is persuasive! Federal highway projects have DBE requirements and 91 percent of Indiana Department of Transportation DBEs also have MWBE certification!
