EX 09-0012
As a matter of sound business practice, the University of Wisconsin-Extension is committed to supply diversity by
promoting the use of minority business whenever and wherever possible. Further, as an agency of the State of
Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin-Extension shares in the state goal of placing five (5) percent of its total
purchasing dollars with certified minority businesses.
The State of Wisconsin policy provides that minority owned business enterprises (MBE) certified by the Wisconsin
Department of Commerce; Bureau of Minority Development should have the maximum opportunity to participate in the
performance of its contracts. You as a supplier, are strongly urged to use due diligence to further this policy by
awarding subcontracts to minority owned business enterprises or by using such enterprises to provide goods and
services incidental to this Contract, with a goal of awarding 5% of the contract price to such enterprises.
Your complete response on this attachment, will address the following components; a) an indication that you
understand the University’s goal, b) a listing of any vendors with which you intend to subcontract, c) a description
of the various second tier MBE expenses you will be able to report to us that are in direct connection with the
administration of this contract, and d) a statement expressing your commitment to complete the required semi
annual reports that will reflect your subcontract and second tier expenditures for the period.
A listing of certified minority businesses, as well as the services and commodities they provide, is available on the web
at: http://www.doa.state.wi.us/deo/mbe/minority_search.asp or you can contact JoAnn Moore, Wisconsin Department
of Administration, Minority Business Enterprise Program at 608-267-3293 joann.moore@wisconsin.gov.
Information regarding certification of minority businesses is available at: http://commerce.wi.gov/BD/BD-FAX-0910.html
or you can direct further questions to. Ruby J. Brooks, Director, Bureau Minority Business Development

________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
In addition to direct subcontracting efforts, your company can help the University achieve the 5% goal by managing
your second tier minority purchases. Second tier business refers to incidental business expenses your company may
spend with MBE firms as it pursues the normal course of business supplying the University products or services. Here
are some examples:
 You may report a percentage of your inbound freight conducted with an MBE firm.
 You may report a percentage of the cleaning expenses for your facility.
 If you travel to maintain your business with us, you could use a MBE travel agency and report that
expense.
These expenses can only be reported to the extent that they relate to your business with the University. The
percentage of the expense you can report is determined by the amount of your University sales as it relates to your
total sales volume.
Per the terms of your contract you should actively pursue directing business towards these types of companies, and
report your efforts in this regard on a semi annual basis.
6. In paragraph form please describe your company’s action plan with regard to the planned use of MBE businesses in
subcontracting efforts, as well as developing second tier MBE providers. Please incorporate your specific
commitments.
