SEC Releases OMWI Report

"The report notes that during fiscal year 2011, the SEC awarded $228
million to contractors. Of this $228 million, the SEC awarded $38.38
million (16.8%) to minority-owned businesses and $15.69 million (6.9%)
to women-owned businesses.

The report also discloses that during fiscal year 2011, OMWI had
limited staff as the office was newly created, and was unable to
provide in-depth technical assistance to minority-owned and women-
owned businesses. In fiscal year 2012,OMWI is in the process of hiring
more staff and will have the resources to provide businesses seeking
contracts with the SEC with a comprehensive overview of the
contracting process from the proposal phase to the contract award
phase, including an overview of the process of bidding on a
requirement."
