About Us

In an exciting development for the large Prime Government Contractors community, the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) network, and small, emerging, and Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) across the country, the MBDA Federal Procurement Center (FPC) is officially transitioning its operations to KDM & Associates, LLC. This transition marks a strategic realignment, bringing new leadership, fresh initiatives, and stronger partnerships to better support the escalating demand for shovel-ready, small and emerging businesses to address the Nation’s supply chain requirements. Historical data confirms that small and minority owned businesses have consistently faced barriers to entry in the Federal acquisition sector. As such, the Federal Procurement Center’s suite of Government contracting support services will remain accessible, but with an even greater focus on empowering – through intense capacity building, mentorship, and defined support services to achieve sustainable success.

Juneteenth and Justice: How Minority Businesses Contribute to Equitable Economic Growth

Introduction: The Significance of Juneteenth

Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in American history. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, two years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. This day, symbolizing the end of slavery in the United States, is a significant celebration of freedom and justice. As we acknowledge this historic event, it is essential to recognize the role of Small, Emerging, and Minority-Owned Businesses (MBEs) in driving equitable economic growth within our Nation.
