Office of the Comptroller, FY 2015
September 1, 2015
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
Over 90 percent of the Comptroller’s Office’s procurement is in professional services, where spending occurred across all M/WBE categories. The agency did well with Asian American and Hispanic American-owned firms, surpassing goals for standard services and goods procurement with those groups, respectively. However, the agency faltered in spending with Black American and Women-owned firms, and as a result, remained at a C grade for the second year in a row.
