WMBE Program Process

The WMBE Administrator is responsible for the development and implementation of the WMBE program. The process is as follows:

1. A company is introduced to the Administrator by submitting the WMBE application.
2. A Company is introduced to the Administrator by referral or direct contact.
3. The Administrator contacts the business to identify their area of expertise.
4. The business is required to register online with the SBA Pro-Net Database.
5. Three commercial reference contacts must be provided to the Coordinator based on the company's past performance history. Contact information should include the Company's name, the contact person's name, and telephone number.
6. Following submission of registration on Pro-Net and the past performance documentation, the Administrator will request additional information and/or a meeting(s) with the company to become more familiar with their product or service.
7. Once the Administrator is familiar with the WMBE's product or service that company will be introduced to appropriate Alyeska representatives to give a capabilities presentation(s) if necessary.
8. The WMBE will be placed on an internal source listing for their expertise, or if available, placed on a bidder list for an upcoming bid opportunity.
9. The Administrator will assist in matching the qualified WMBE source list companies to appropriate Alyeska representatives as procurement opportunities are identified within Alyeska company wide.

Demonstrating capability by placement on a bidder or source list does not guarantee work with Alyeska. Many other program requirements must be met such as safety, quality, staffing, environmental, etc.
