Rebuild Emerging Vendors Program
The Rebuild Emerging Vendors Program helps design and construction businesses get certified as minority- or woman-owned.
Participating businesses can be counted toward diversity goals for Rebuild contracts, and will get expert assistance to work toward permanent minority- or woman-owned certification for all City contracts.
Participants must have a business based in Philadelphia, and provide services that are relevant to Rebuild projects. This includes design, construction, and community engagement firms. Businesses that provide other services will be processed if they have secured a Rebuild contracting opportunity.
