Rebroadcasting on behalf of Massachusetts:

The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) has established an Individuals with Disabilities Program to increase the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ procurement and contracting process. The goals are to:

Expand Inclusion of Disability-Owned Business Enterprises (DOBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (SDVOBE).
Transform and expand the SDO Individuals with Disabilities Pilot Program into an Ongoing Program.
Further Develop the Program Webpage with Resources and Tools for Employers and Individuals with Disabilities Seeking Employment.

The SDO is seeking examples of policies to help form a framework for this program. If your state or territory has information on similar workforce initiatives, guidelines or other useful employment resources, please share websites or contact:
