Facility Services Industry Reports

The Minority Business Opportunity in Facility Services

Federal, state, and municipal procurement programs increasingly require MBE and supplier-diversity participation in facility services contracts. Most large facility management companies cannot claim MBE certification — creating a structural advantage for qualified providers.

Diversity goals are expanding beyond simple pass-through arrangements. Procurement teams now evaluate whether certified firms actually perform the work, manage subcontractors, and maintain operational control.

db3 ConServe is a certified MBE provider with full operational capability — not a pass-through. We self-perform core services and directly manage all subcontractor relationships.
