OK, maybe someone else here can educate me a bit on this. We saw this while reading through the requirements for bidding on a job with the city. Does this mean if our bid is the same as a Woman or minority owed business they will favor them over us?
That's ridiculous..... if they're a minority shouldn't they be treated with EQUAL rights...?
I have a couple of friends that have their wives as the owner of the company as they are also minorities according to the government just for these reasons.

It happens all the time, too. I've got a construction group I do work for that's made up of six companies all operating under the same umbrella. There's a woman owned company, an Indian owned company, a black owned company...whatever they need to get federal contracts. They've gone as far as paying part of the mortgage for one of their employees to buy a house in an impoverished district because they needed so show they were hiring from that district to get a contract with the local Air Force base. They've got a guy working there who's job is to figure out how to bid on jobs to their best advantage.
