M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

A vast majority of DoITT’s procurement spending is in professional services, where the agency did a poor job spending with all M/WBE groups. Despite strong spending with Hispanic American and Asian American businesses in goods and with Women-owned businesses in standard services, the agency’s overall spending in these industries was too low to make an impact on its failing grade.
