Procurement, Inclusion and Equity (PIE) program

Our PIE Program helps small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses sell goods and services to Washington state governments. We are also working on changing procurement culture in government purchasing and building pipeline of small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses on statewide goods and services contracts.

To do that, we:

  • Provide training, networking and information about bid opportunities to small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses in Washington.
  • Work with government purchasers to increase their spending with small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses in Washington.
  • Partner with small business assistance organizations that help small, diverse and veteran-owned businesses find and bid on state contracts.
