What happens if I qualify as a woman-, minority- or disadvantaged-owned business, but decide not to get certified? Can I still provide subcontracting services to Southwest Alliance?
A. You do not have to be a veteran-owned, woman-owned, minority-owned, disadvantaged-owned, etc business in order to provide subcontracting services to Southwest Alliance. When reviewing potential subcontractors, we look at service capabilities and competitive pricing. If a subcontractor is also certified in one of the business categories, the certification offers an additional advantage to purchase services from your company. If you qualify for any of the business certifications, you should obtain the certification, because it is an advantage to you in being selected as a subcontractor, if you also meet our service and pricing requirements.
