M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

With the exception of goods procurement, OEM spent very little with any M/WBE group in any industry. Within goods, which accounts for nearly a quarter of its procurement, the agency did relatively well with Asian American and Hispanic American businesses. However, its lack of procurement with M/WBEs in standard and professional services as well as limited spending with Black American businesses across all industries left them with a D grade.
