Program Compliance

OBP monitors the compliance of businesses participating in the Small Business Reserve (SBR), Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), and Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) programs to ensure small, minority, and veteran-owned companies are receiving their fair share of contracting opportunities with DGS.  

Each year, the State compiles program reports to summarize the State’s participation in these programs. Reports are available on the Board of Public Works and the Governor's Office of Small, Minority, and Women Business Affairs​ websites.​
