M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

DOP increased its spending with Women and Asian American-owned firms, but the agency decreased its spending with Hispanic American-owned firms and continued to spend poorly with Black American-owned firms. Accordingly, DOP earned another D this year.

About DOP
