"State of Mississippi's Procurement Policies and Minority Business Enterprises", VEP Report, 1981

1981

1980-1989

This document is a report on the state of Mississippi's highly decentralized purchasing system, which lacks a centralized recordkeeping or reporting system, has no policy or procedures for insuring opportunities for minority entrepreneurs to sell commodities or services to state agencies, and requires advertising for bids for purchases over $1,500, making it difficult to analyze and describe. The report suggests political and business leaders in minority communities should lobby to make the role of minority entrepreneurs in supplying commodities and services to the state a political, policy, and legislative issue. 8 pages.
