M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

Last year, DOP had significant spend with Women-owned firms and had a moderate amount of procurement with Hispanic American and Black American-owned firms. However, this year DOP failed to spend significantly with M/WBE firms outside of goods procurement with Hispanic American-owned firms. Accordingly, DOP’s grade dropped to a D this year.

About DOP

The Department of Probation (DOP) supervises people on probation and expands opportunities for them to move out of the criminal and juvenile justice systems through meaningful education, employment, health services, family engagement, and civic participation.
