The document is Exhibit 51 of the M_W DBE Program Information and Forms. It presents the policy for small, minority, and women-owned businesses in county procurement. The document begins by providing definitions for terms such as "small business," "minority individual," "women-owned business," and "minority-owned business." It states that a small business is independently owned and operated with 250 or fewer employees or average annual gross receipts of $10 million or less. A minority individual is defined as someone who is a citizen or non-citizen in compliance with US immigration law and belongs to specific ethnic groups. A women-owned business is one that is at least 51% owned by women who are citizens or non-citizens in compliance with US immigration law. A minority-owned business is at least 51% owned by minority individuals who also control and operate the business. The policy of the County of Henrico, in accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, is to actively promote the procurement or lease of goods, services, insurance, or construction from small businesses or businesses owned by minorities and women in an equally competitive manner. The county aims to include qualified small, minority, and women-owned businesses on solicitation lists and ensure their participation whenever they are potential sources. The county also utilizes a list of such businesses published by the Department of Minority Business Enterprise and establishes delivery schedules that encourage their participation. Additionally, the county cooperates with the United States Small Business Administration, Department of Minority Business Enterprise, and other agencies, and participates in local and regional small, minority, and women-owned purchasing fairs. The Director of General Services is authorized and directed to develop and implement procedures to maximize the opportunities for small businesses and businesses owned by minorities and women to participate in county procurement transactions. The policy was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on January 23, 2007.
