2 1/2 Ways For Winning State Contracts
Tip 1:
Use your Small Business status to gain a price preference in your bid.
Per the State of Indiana official Vendor Handbook: The State of Indiana offers a fifteen percent (15%) price preference to qualified businesses within the state to encourage the growth and success of small companies.
Tip 2:
Maximize your MWBE Participation to meet State goals.
Every year the state sets goals for state contracts for Minority and Women-Owned Business participation. This means that when you bid on the state contract you gain an advantage in your bid evaluation if you purchase goods and services for that contract from Minority and Women-Owned Businesses. You gain the maximum advantage if you meet the stated goals. The current goals are:
| Minority Businesses Participation Goal | Women-Owned Business Participation Goal | |
| Construction | 7% | 5% |
| Professional Services | 8% | 8% |
| Supplies | 4% | 9% |
