A brief description of how the institution meets the criteria:
Minority and Women Business Enterprise Participation: It is the policy of the University of Missouri to ensure full and equitable economic opportunities to persons and businesses that compete for business with the University, including Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). To this end, the University has established participation goals for MBEs and WBEs of the total value of contracts for goods and services. The University expects participation in contracts for goods and services by firms that are certified as Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). This may either be by the primary contractor being a qualified M/WBE or by the utilization of M/WBE suppliers by the primary contractor (second tier purchases). Contractors are required to make a "best effort" in support of the University's policy and documentation demonstrating this effort is required. Upon request of the University, the contractor shall provide semi-annual or annual reports of the financial participation of M/WBEs, either as the primary contractor or as second tier purchases. The report shall include the name(s) and address (es) of the qualified M/WBEs, products or services provided and the total dollar amount or percentage of utilization.
