The program includes certification of the City of Phoenix's Small Business Enterprise program, and the federal Disadvantaged/Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise programs.
This office is responsible for the certification of firms owned and operated by socially and economically disadvantage business owners for federal contracting, as well as the city's race and gender-neutral program open to all small economically disadvantaged business owners.
The overall intent of the program is to provide opportunities to participate in the economic benefits of government contracting to small businesses owned and operated by disadvantaged individuals.
