SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS 2016-2017 priority focus is on creating opportunities for M/WBE goal achievement and compliance. For 2017 the aspirational goals need to be update In 2017 a procurement disparity update study is due to be performed. Consistently work with the M/WBE Advisory Committee on recommendations to improve the program and ensure the program meets its policy and goal objectives. Continue to increase awareness of the PPS-M/WBE Program. Increase vendor development and outreach efforts.

Vendor Rotation PPS should consider the selective use of vendor rotation to expand utilization of underutilized M/WBE groups. Some political jurisdictions use vendor rotation arrangements to limit habitual and repetitive purchases from incumbent majority firms, and to ensure that SWaMs have an opportunity to bid along with majority firms.
