CAAA Supplier Diversity Spending & Contract Solicitation

Supplier Diversity:

State law requires each state agency and educational institution to submit its public spending data to the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE). This data reflects the funds spent on public works and service contracts and procurements with certified minority- and women-owned businesses (RCW 39.19.250). 

CAAA annually reports how much is spent on public works and procurement with minority-owned, women-owned, or otherwise socially, economically disadvantaged, and/or spending with veteran-owned firms.* Find our Supplier Diversity spend here

*CAAA spend is with both OMWBE certified and non-certified businesses. For information about OMWBE and its certification process, navigate to OMWBE.WA.gov.

Under Executive Order 22-10, state agencies are directed to expand access for small businesses in contracting and procurement. 

Interested vendors are encouraged to regularly check Washington’s Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) for announcements and updates regarding contracting opportunities with Washington State agencies.
