Small Business Reserve The Small Business Reserve Program was established by law in 2004, and requires that the MTA structure its procurement processes so that at least 15 percent of its total procurement dollars are spent with qualified small businesses. MTA regularly designates eligible procurements as Small Business Reserve to encourage small businesses to submit proposals or bids. To apply for certification as a qualified small business or to renew your certification annually, the Department of The Governor's Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs has established an online self-certification process.
