Opportunity for Wisconsin DBE Certified Firms to Receive Additional Certifications - Wisconsin Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Reciprocity with State of Wisconsin Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) Certifications:
Wisconsin businesses that have been certified through one the state's DBE certifying partners through the Unified Certification Program (UCP) may meet the requirements for the State of Wisconsin's Department of Administration's MBE and or WBE certifications. Executive Order #72, signed in 2012, requires the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration to waive certain certification procedures for certifications that are "substantially equivalent" to those at the State of Wisconsin. DBE certified firms who are women owned may automatically qualify for the State's WBE certification and DBE certified firms who are minority owned may qualify for the State's MBE certification. Note DBE certified firms applying for MBE or WBE certification still need to fill out the online certification application through the Department of Administration and upload their DBE certificate. However, they need not upload the additional required documents required for MBE or WBE certification. Note that the State of Wisconsin's DBE program does not have reciprocity for other states and this only applies to firms certified as DBE in the State of Wisconsin. For additional information contact Joseph Smetak josephs@wispro.org or Benjamin Blanc benjaminb@wispro.org or call 414-270-3600.

Register today. The Defense Acquisition University staff has worked with us to incorporate the new rule and this guidance in their courses.

The Pentagon's acquisition office is gone. Here's what the next 120 days bring.
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon's acquisition system has officially been split in two. Now comes the hard part.
On Feb. 1, workers who report to the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics (AT&L) have a new boss. Per Congressional requirements, the office has been split into
two new groups - the undersecretaries of defense for research and engineering (R&E) and acquisition and sustainment (A&S).
But for the next three months,
not much should really change, said final AT&L head, and first A&S head, Ellen Lord.
