Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Certification Program
To assist the EBO program in increasing minority
participation, the City of Jackson created the Minority Business Enterprise
(MBE) Certification Program. The purpose
of the MBE Certification Program is to allow prime contractors to subcontract
with Minority Business Enterprises (African Americans, Native Americans, Asian
Americans, and Hispanic Americans) or Female Business Enterprises that perform
a commercially useful function (i.e. architectural/engineering and professional
services, construction, and goods (commodities) and nonprofessional services)
in the work of the contract.
