And here is a response from a lurker here who is in the type of business
also having the "Minority Status" Describing the advantage that gives:

Federal law in the US requires on specific projects that x% of the total job be
awarded to minority owned companies, irregardless if they submitted the lowest
price.

Example, Flour is awarded as contractor a 10,000,000 job and on this job there is
a 12% minority participation requirement. ARET would be able to assist FLOUR
by bidding on work, or just be given it by FLOUR so that they meet the 12%
requirement. Equals 1,200,000. Now ARET must do and/or subcontract out that
work.

It is often very difficult to come up with minority firms and it is very helpful in our
industry to have a friendly relationship with a minority firm as it sometimes
guarantees us work. We will sell our concrete pipe, sand, and stone to them first
instead of the contractor so that the job meets the % requirement.

Thanks that is also a very positive angle here !!!
