The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) in the Department of Commerce ensures that the City is working with diverse businesses to fulfill its needs for goods and services. Each year, the City aims to reach 35 percent participation from minority, women, and disabled-owned enterprises (M/W/DSBEs) on its contracts.

OEO does this through:

• Registering minority, women, and disabled-owned businesses.
• Reviewing and monitoring contracts.
• Creating alliances within the City government and beyond.

Our partners include:

• City of Philadelphia departments.
• Quasi-public agencies.
• Private industries.
• Nonprofit sector.
