SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR MINORITY AND WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (M/WBE) PARTICIPATION The Office of Business Assistance was established by the Houston Independent School District Board of Education in 1988 to assist minority and women-owned business enterprises (M/WBEs) in the participation of various district business projects.

The district requires all M/WBE documents and supporting materials to be completed and submitted as a part of the response to a proposal.

If you are unable to attend the pre-bid meeting, please contact Supplier Diversity for assistance on completing the required documentation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE M/WBE documents are a part of proposer’s evaluation. This documentation is required for your proposal to be evaluated by the district. HISD will determine whether the proposer’s efforts meet the minimum standards of “Good Faith Effort” consistent with the district’s policy on the participation of M/WBEs. Failure to provide the required M/WBE documentation will be considered non-compliant. If a company is deemed non-compliant, it can lead to disqualification from the provision of goods and services to the district for current and/or future projects.
