WSDOT sets enforceable small and veteran-owned goals on projects – As of April 4, 2022,  WSDOT’s voluntary MSVWBE program is being replaced with an enforceable Small and Veteran Owned Business Enterprise (SVBE) Program and voluntary Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise (MWBE) Program on all State-funded projects. The SVBE program has condition of award SVBE goals and voluntary goals for MWBE.
