⚠ Important MWBE Note
Many of these opportunities:
• Require PASSPort registration
• Favor certified firms (prime or subcontract)
• Have short response windows
• Expect clean documentation and compliance
If your ownership structure, operating agreement, or control documentation is unclear — certification will stall.
