M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

DOHMH increased spending with Hispanic-American and Women-owned firms, but this was offset by a decrease in the proportion of spending with Asian-American-owned firms and continued shortfalls in spending with Black American-owned firms. As a result, the agency earned a C grade for the third year in a row.
