SMBR Divisions
Certification The Certification division verifies that the MBE, WBE and/or DBE applicant owns, manages, and controls the day-to-day operations of the business. By reviewing completed applications and performing site audits, the division ensures that a business owner meets the qualifications of the MBE/WBE and DBE Procurement Programs. SMBR also has a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the State of Texas which allows SMBR to recommend qualified applicants for Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Certification.
Compliance The Compliance Division reviews, monitors and tracks certified vendor participation on City procurements throughout all phases of a project. Compliance also conducts site audits, reviews payment requests, facilitates performance and payment issues, and determines final compliance with the MBE/WBE program.
Resources The Resources Division provides information and assistance to Austin’s certified minority and women-owned business community. Resources facilitates outreach events with external partners, communicates programmatic changes, and hosts workshops, forums, and informationals on topics of interest to the minority business community. It also manages contracts with local service providers that assist with outreach activities to help increase the number of minority firms certified with the City of Austin and the availability of firms participating on City projects.
