Current KPI New KPI What would be a reasonable benchmark? Current KPI What would be a reasonable benchmark? Is 90% a reasonable target? What are the mandatory outreach efforts required? Is reporting on outreach on GFE required? Is 70% a reasonable target? Are solicitations written/scaled so that smaller vendors are able to bid/repsond? Mentor/protégé initiatives--outline incentives to participate (on both sides); needs to be a building block, not a holding pattern Is 30% a reasonable target? What are the criteria for bid acceptance? Current KPI Incentives/disincentives for utilizing certified firms (and not just conducting GFE)? Need to look at request for qualification and request for proposal process (with an eye on not just meeting goals, but potentially incentivizing primes to exceed them, and/or to use newly certified firms) Current KPI New KPI 1,367 in 2025 New KPI 70 in 2025, up from 48 in 2024 Is 90% a reasonable target? Reliant to an extent on project managers in departments with content expertise; they will look at and question scopes of work; some industries/areas are challenge; will require some education and direction Trying to better understand the codes awarded overall vs. among MBE/WBE What (if any) are these exceptions? Are there repeat awardees?/Do we know the # of awards to 'new' firms?/Do we know # or % of dollars tied to contracts outside of ASMBR control/oversight? Share top 10-20 codes for City awards annually with certified firms (so they can update their profile to meet actual need); firms are notified based on their profile in SMBR. Small business event (August/September) What list are they using for initial contacts/outreach efforts to certified vendors? Direct contact via primes? Page 1 of 1
