M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

BIC primary spends in only one category, professional services, where it did a poor job procuring with the three minority groups that have participation goals. While the agency did procure goods with Asian American businesses, its failure to spend with virtually any other minority group resulted in a low score with a grade of a D.
