It explains that the platform includes 36,000-plus local vendors supporting more than 200 housing authorities nationwide, and shows how to filter by criteria such as region, MWBE status, and service type. The presenter gives examples including 200-plus vendors in the Southeast that are African American business enterprises offering architectural and engineering services, 3,429 vendors in Florida, and 240 Florida vendors providing carpet cleaning services. Users can view company details, websites, contact information, and the MWBE status, and can also limit results to dedicated vendors that opted in to receive the agency’s solicitations.
