The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am pleased to submit our Annual Minority Business Report for fiscal year 1994. This year's report reflects a new record and increased commitment by state agencies.
State agencies spent $32,427,983 with firms designated as minority businesses.
The Department of Development has continued to expand the number of businesses certified as minority firms. A total of 640 firms have now been certified, an increase of 86 from the 1992-93 fiscal year.
Thirty-three state and quasi-state purchasing offices have awarded at least 5% or more of their purchasing dollars to certified minority businesses.
Not counting firms interested only in financial investments, 43% of the certified minority businesses received contracts for various commodities and services during fiscal year 1993-94.
I am pleased that we have again exceeded the goal for architectural and engineering services by awarding 10.9% of the contracts in this category to minority firms. The Wisconsin Fund Point Source Program through its funding of water pollution abatement projects for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District expended 19.5% of grant dollars to minority firms.
The State of Wisconsin Investment Board expended 6% of its funds to minority firms.
A total of $11,776,289 was deposited in minority-owned banks by various state and quasi-state agencies.
