Business Diversity Advisory Group (BDAG)

The Business Diversity Advisory Group advises our Contracts and Procurement Division on ways to reduce barriers for small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses to participate in state contracts for goods and services.

How BDAG increases spending with small and diverse businesses

The Business Diversity Advisory Group provides valuable input and recommendations to help us make solicitations more equitable. Their recommendations have led to changes in our solicitation processes and removed barriers for small, diverse, and veteran-owned businesses to win state contracts. Additionally, BDAG’s recommendations helped us create the enterprise Supplier Diversity Policy.
