SUBJECT:Supplier Diversity Update for Fiscal Year 2025
The purpose of this LTC is to provide an update to the Mayor and City Commission on the
database and usage of LGBTQIA+certified firms,as certified by the National LGBT
Chamber of Commerce,and small business enterprises (SBE)and disadvantaged
business enterprises (DBE)firms,as certified by Miami-Dade County,pursuant to
Resolutions 2020-31342 and 2020-31519.
On July 29,2020,the City Commission adopted Resolution 2020-31342,directing the
Administration to establish a registry and database of LGBTQIA+-owned businesses
certified by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
On December 9,2020,the City Commission adopted Resolution 2020-31519,directing the
Administration to establish a registry and database for small and disadvantaged
businesses as certified by Miami-Dade County in the following categories:
• SBE -Architectural &Engineering.A gender and race-neutral certification
program specifically for firms that are defined as architectural and engineering
companies.
• SBE Construction.A gender and race-neutral certification program specifically
for firms that are defined as construction companies.This category also includes
trades,such as electrical,painting,and plumbing.
•SBE Goods and Services.A gender and race-neutral certification program
specifically for firms that supply goods and services other than construction,
architectural,or engineering services.
•DBE -Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.A certification program for
federally-funded projects that promotes participation in transportation contracts by
small,socially,and economically disadvantaged businesses.
As previously reported,the database was implemented in June 2021.Since then,staff have
continued to work with the information provided by NGLCC and Miami-Dade County on a
quarterly basis to identify certified businesses and have those businesses added to the
City's databases.As part of the review,the Procurement Department conducted a
comprehensive review of the supplier diversity registry to ensure accuracy and alignment
with current certification statuses.During this process,several firms that no longer hold
valid supplier diversity certifications were removed from the database.As a result,the total
number of certified suppliers reflected in this year's report has decreased.
Table 1 indicates the firms registered by Miami-Dade County and NGLCC that have been
added to the database through September 30,2025.Table 2 indicates the City's total
spend,by certification category,with the certified firms.Table 3 indicates the project-
specific contract awards,typically for construction projects,to the certified firms.Table 4
includes awards for ongoing contracts accessed by departments on an as-needed basis.

Table 1-Registered Firms by DBE,SBE,and LGBTQIA+Certification
Table 1 indicates the total number of firms certified by NGLCC and Miami-Dade County
registered with the City through September 30,2025.Table 1 does not represent all firms
certified by NGLCC or Miami-Dade County;it only represents those firms that have elected
to register with the City to date.
Table 2-Expenditures by DBE,SBE,and LGBTQIA+Certification
Table 2 indicates the City's spend with the certified firms by certification type for fiscal year
2025.It is important to note that a single firm may be certified in multiple categories.For
example,a firm may be certified as both an LGBTQIA+and an SBE business.Therefore,it is
not accurate to tally the fields in Table 3 as duplication may occur.Nonetheless,the total
unduplicated spend with the certified firms is $987,793.83.
