Department of Administration

December, 1998
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
Attached is the Department of Administration's annual report to the Council on Small Business, Veteran-owned and Minority Business Opportunities as required by s.
16.75(4)(a)5, Wis. Stats.
The report evaluates the performance of Wisconsin's small businesses in submitting bids or proposals to the state and identifies the department's initiatives to encourage small, veteran-owned and minority businesses to participate in the state's purchasing program.
The report shows that the dollars the state spends with Wisconsin small businesses continues to increase.
* The dollars awarded to Wisconsin small businesses increased to $325,322,893 up $2,080,584 (.6%) from 1996-97.
* The number of purchase orders placed decreased to 74,650 down 17,098 (18.6%) from 1996-97.
* The percent of dollars awarded to Wisconsin small businesses, of all state awards, decreased slightly to 39.9% from 40.8% for 1996-97.
* The number of Wisconsin small businesses decreased by 538 (.4%) to 120,371.
The report excludes purchase orders to other state agencies as well as orders that are exempt from the purchasing prices. It also excludes orders for postage, memberships, telephones, electric power, steam, water, and sewer, as no known Wisconsin small businesses exist to provide these commodities.
The Department of Administration remains strongly committed to working with Wisconsin's small, veteran-owned and minority businesses to increase their competitiveness and participation in the state purchasing program. This commitment is shown by the outreach and assistance activities identified in the report and in the increased share of state dollars ($2 million) awarded to small businesses.
Sincerely,
mark d. bugher
