The state of Indiana launched a new small business program on Oct. 1 regarding supplier/procurement processes. Our VP Adam H. Berry shares more: "Indiana’s approach to state contracting underwent a significant transformation this summer. Following an opinion from Attorney General Todd Rokita questioning the constitutionality of race- and sex-based contracting preferences, Gov. Mike Braun suspended the state’s Supplier Diversity Program and directed the creation of a new Indiana Small Business Program. That program officially launched October 1, shifting the state’s focus toward expanding procurement opportunities for qualifying Indiana businesses, regardless of ownership demographics. So, what does this mean for Hoosier employers?" 🧵

"IDOA has committed to providing technical assistance, training and programming to help businesses navigate the process. Those efforts will be important to ensuring the program creates genuine opportunities rather than simply another administrative requirement. There is also a broader economic development connection. According to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, 69 businesses announced plans to locate or expand in Indiana through September, collectively committing to more than 5,300 new jobs with average wages approximately 37% above the statewide average. Those figures reinforce the importance of attracting investment while also creating opportunities for existing Indiana businesses to participate in the state’s economic growth. For the Indiana Chamber, the next step is evaluating results."

"The Chamber has encouraged the administration to incorporate business feedback throughout implementation. That means looking beyond the number of certifications to examine how many businesses actually compete for contracts, secure awards and expand their operations. Ultimately, the program’s success should be measured not by how many businesses qualify to participate, but by whether more Hoosier businesses can compete, grow and succeed through the receipt of state procurement dollars. That’s an outcome worth pursuing."

It's building two new facilities — a vacuum induction melting facility and SMS rotary forge — and adding more than 100 new jobs as a result.
