MBE/WBE

MBE/WBE Program

The Minority & Woman-Owned Business Enterprises Program (MBE/WBE) is BAA’s local program and is applicable to all BAA-funded procurements. The MBE/WBE program will help BAA:

  • Promoting, encouraging, and facilitating the participation of local minority & woman-owned businesses in all aspects of the BAA’s procurement activities.
  • Provide opportunities for minority & woman-owned businesses to fully participate in locally funded contracts, programs, and all related business activities at BAA.

Moreover, no person shall be denied the benefit of, or otherwise discriminated against, on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, handicap, sex, age, marital status, or sexual orientation in connection with the award or modification of a contract between a vendor or contractor and the Birmingham Airport Authority (BAA) where said contract is paid for, in whole or in part, with monetary appropriations by the Birmingham Airport Authority (BAA).

MBE/WBE Registration
