The <br />goal is to ensure that those providing goods and services to the State are representative of our <br />Minnesota communities and include businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, and those <br />with substantial physical disabilities. Creating broader opportunities for historically under-represented <br />groups provides for additional options and greater competition in the marketplace, creates stronger <br />relationships and engagement within our communities, and fosters economic development and <br />equality. <br />To further this commitment, the Department of Administration operates a program for Minnesota- <br />based small businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, and those with substantial physical <br />disabilities. For additional information on this program, or to determine eligibility, please call 651-296- <br />2600 or go to the OEP website. <br /> Grant Contract Process.
