The Minority Business Enterprise Division administers a Certification Program to identify capable minority and women-owned businesses participating in the procurement activities of educational institutions, governmental agencies, and private entities. The business is organized for profit, and a minority or woman owns and controls 51 percent of the business. A sole proprietor controls 100 percent of the business enterprise, and in corporations and partnerships minority owners control at least 51 percent of the management and daily business operations. The business enterprise must have operations physically located in the state of Mississippi. The certification program creates a database of minority and women-owned businesses that serves as a directory of products and services and also identifies prospects for procurement and contracting opportunities.
Certification is valid for two years.
