2025 Minnesota Joint Disparity Study Public Forum

Over the past year, the State of Minnesota Department of Administration and 15 other state and local government agencies, including Ramsey County, have partnered to examine whether all businesses have a fair opportunity to compete for public contracts in Minnesota. The 2025 Minnesota Joint Disparity Study analyzed participation and treatment of minority- and woman-owned businesses, as well as firms owned by veterans, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ community members. The study also explored broader market conditions and procurement practices across public and private sectors.
