Improved data tracking system

The data indicate minority status when contracts are awarded to companies are often inconsistent and there is no centralized system that records all information. In addition, information is not publicly available. defenders of minority suppliers require more extensive demographic data and information available on incentive contracts. Ultimately, companies should minorities be followed by the race to receive federal incentive funds.

The equality in contracts for federal stimulus
Further follow-up issues, minority suppliers need a proportionate amount of the stimulus pie. Currently, competition for incentive contracts and the intense minority has a greater challenge in the competition for the projects. The reality is that Hispanics and blacks could use more help due to white communities that were hit by the downturn. In other words, there is higher unemployment in minority communities and additional financial aid to rebuild communities and improve business.

A very small percentage of businesses owned by minorities actually get incentive contracts. Only 6 percent of U.S. $ 16.9 billion funding the Federal Highway Administration contract awarded to businesses owned by ethnic minorities, women, veterans and disabled. 7.8 percent to $ 1,100,000,000 U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and 8.6 percent of the money from the direct stimulation of the Department of Transportation went to companies at a disadvantage.

It is also an attempt to help spread knowledge about the federal incentive contract opportunities through national events. By increasing the potential for government tenders to minority suppliers, there is less poverty, drugs, crime and unemployment in these communities.
