Human Resources Administration, FY 2014

M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
HRA’s most significant procurement industries – professional services and standard services – saw some spending with each group. However, its relatively small amount of spending with M/WBEs across the board gave the agency a failing grade with all groups except Women-owned businesses, leaving the overall grade at a D.
