The purpose of the Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises is to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for minority and women-owned businesses to participate in public works and in the process by which goods and services are procured by state agencies and educational institutions. The Office certifies minority business enterprises, socially and economically disadvantaged business enterprises, and women's business enterprises statewide.

The goal of the state's minority and women's business enterprise program is to ensure participation in government contracting by businesses that are underrepresented due to race or gender discrimination.

The objectives are to: increase the percentage of state public works and goods and services expenditures being paid to bona fide minority and women's business enterprises; continue pursuit of stated goals; and identify and mitigate barriers to equal participation by minority and women-owned businesses.
