Fueling What Works Through Aggregated Resources

Propelling the next generation of minority government contractors

The Federal Procurement Center – under the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) – has a critical mission to support the 9.7 Million Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) throughout the Nation in gaining access to and succeeding in performing Government contracts.  The FPC helps MBEs build scale and capacity, increase revenues, create and retain jobs, and expand regionally, nationally and internationally.

The MBDA is the only Federal agency solely dedicated to the growth and global competitiveness of MBEs.  After 52 years in operation, President Biden signed the Minority Business Development Act of 2021, expanding and making permanent MBDA as the U.S.’s newest federal agency – with Donald R. Cravins, Jr. confirmed as the first Under Secretary of Commerce for Minority Business Development.

The MBDA helps implement and realize the objectives of Executive Order 13985 – Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government – and Executive Order 14035 – Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce.
