Subcontracting goals are placed on contracts and the prime contractor is required to utilize certified firms to satisfy the established goal.

Contracting Opportunities What you Need to Know Goals are placed on contracts BEFORE they are solicited.  Prime-Contractors are required to identify MBE/VSBE subcontractors  WHEN they submit their bid. Certified MBEs are encouraged to participate as prime-contractors and  may count their own work toward 50% of the goal. Certified VSBEs are encouraged to participate as prime-contractors  and may count their own work toward 100% of the goal. A company who has both certifications may be counted toward  achieving both goals.
