Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE) – Supplier Diversity

The Town of Noma is committed to supplier diversity in the performance of all contracts associated with federal and state funded projects.

For projects funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the Town and its bidders/contractors are required to make good faith efforts to encourage the participation of minority-owned, women-owned, and small business enterprises in accordance with applicable laws.

Bidders and contractors must submit documentation demonstrating the affirmative steps taken to utilize certified minority and women-owned businesses in the work, including evidence that qualified firms have been solicited for subcontracting work and/or supplies as needed to complete the project.

A directory of certified minority- and women-owned businesses operating in the Town of Noma region is available through the Florida Department of Management Services, Office of Supplier Diversity:
