Recognition of Status Report for Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consistent with the 2011-2012 Status Report for the SBE program that was provided to the Board on September 11, 2012, the Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD)  will recognize certain construction managers and vendors who were identified as having assisted the District in its utilization efforts or are OSD vendors who earned over $100,000.

The objective of the Status Report is to recognize the District's effort to reinvest tax dollars into the Tampa Bay area's small business community.  On a periodic basis, the OSD captures the performance of the District staff and its prime contractors in the utilization of small businesses registered with the OSD.  The value of this report provides the School Board and public a measurement of the District's program efficiency and the response to the District's performance expectation.
