RE: FY 2024 Annual Report Supplier Diversity – Affirmative Marketing Program for Design & Construction, Workforce Reporting, and VBE Reporting
Dear Secretary Gorzkowicz:
Attached please find the FY 2024 report for DCAMM's Affirmative Marketing Program (AMP) for MBE/ WBE business participation, veteran business participation, and minority and women workforce hours on DCAMM projects.
I am very pleased to report that DCAMM’s overall annual spending has exceeded all combined goals for construction and design for projects bid under our Legacy program and we have exceeded six of eight program goals for projects bid under the AMP2020 program. The FY 24 report reflects overall payments to MBEs and WBEs of nearly $57 million on DCAMM construction and design projects.
For workforce participation, we have seen strong growth in the share of total hours worked by both minorities and women on our construction projects. This includes a one-third increase in women construction hours over FY 23. Participation of women and minorities workers on design contracts continues to be very strong.
While making significant progress in FY 24, results are below the benchmark for women workforce participation on DCAMM construction projects. DCAMM’s compliance team, along with our project managers, continue to focus on new approaches to expand opportunities for women and minorities in construction. This includes ongoing collaboration with industry stakeholders to attract new workers, educate contractors, promote specific project-related opportunities, and improved monitoring of compliance with contractors’ obligations.
Most recently, planning for new “Access and Opportunity Committees (AOCs)” for DCAMM construction projects over $35 million began in 2024, with implementation started in early 2025. AOCs have proven to be a highly effective approach to increasing access to construction-related opportunities for women, minorities and veterans.
DCAMM continued to support increased veteran-owned business participation in our projects, including ongoing outreach to ensure a high level of veteran involvement on the new Holyoke Veterans Home project, among the largest projects in DCAMM’s history.
The attached report provides additional details about these initiatives and DCAMM’s Affirmative Marketing Program, including detailed backup reports for payments, awards, and workforce tracking for FY 24.
Sincerely,
Adam Baacke

Section 1. Summary of Key Results from FY 2024 AMP Annual Report
This report summarizes performance under the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance’s (DCAMM) Fiscal Year 2024 (“FY 24”) Affirmative Marketing Program (AMP) for Design and Construction, as well as FY 24 workforce utilization data compiled from DCAMM construction and design projects. This report also includes Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE), and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprise (SDVOBE) participation on construction and design projects. These firms are collectively referenced throughout this report as “VBEs”.
1.1 Foundations of DCAMM’s AMP Program
DCAMM’s program to expand access and opportunity to public construction and design projects for Minority and Women-owned (MBE/WBE) firms spans over four decades. Massachusetts General Law Chapter 7C, §6 and its predecessor legislation originally established programs first for MBE firms, then later expanded to WBE firms. The early program focused exclusively on construction and later included design services. AMP 2020 is the current iteration of the program which sets separate MBE and WBE goals on each DCAMM design and construction project based on the trade-specific marketplace availability of MBEs and WBEs.
In addition to Chapter 7C, §6, Chapter 149, §44A(2)(G), along with A&F Administrative Bulletins 14 and 17A as well as related laws, executive orders and ANF bulletins establish current MBE/WBE business participation and workforce data collection and reporting requirements and set workforce participation benchmarks on DCAMM, and other state agency (and state-funded) construction contracts. Executive Order 599 includes participation, tracking and reporting of Veteran Business Enterprises (VBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprise (SDVOBE) contract expenditures.
1.2 Organization of FY 24 AMP Report – Construction, Design, Workforce
Due to the ongoing overlap of the previous “Legacy” AMP Program and the newer “AMP 2020” Program, construction and design payments are again reported separately for these two project subsets. Projects advertised on or after July 1, 2020, fall under the AMP 2020 Program and projects advertised before that date fall under the Legacy Program. This section provides an overview of results for both groups of projects. In FY 24 about 75% of total construction and 58% of total design payments were made on projects under the AMP 2020 Program.
The Legacy and AMP 2020 distinctions are not relevant to our workforce program, which promotes minority and women participation on our construction and design projects. The framework for our workforce reporting is discussed below under Section 1.7.
Subsequent sections of this report provide more detailed summaries (with project-level backup reports in the appendices), along with discussions on methodology and AMP initiatives underway by DCAMM and our partners.
1.3 Methodology for Calculating AMP 2020 and Legacy Program Results
Calculating results for payments and contract awards is identical for both Legacy and AMP 2020 project portfolios. The results are weighted averages comparing all relevant prime spending (and awards under AMP 2020) for design or construction from MMARS – the Commonwealth’s accounting system of record – with MBE, WBE, VBE primes, and subcontractors tracked through various internal data platforms. This prime spending across the construction and design portfolio forms the denominator in a fraction, with the numerator comprised of MBE, WBE (or VBE) participation through either prime or subcontracts on those same projects. The resulting ratios (% shares credited to MBE/WBE or VBE firms) for the fiscal year are then compared with the goals/targets we have established for each program. This process is repeated for new awards under AMP 2020.
Including both AMP 2020 and continuing Legacy projects, MBEs and WBEs received nearly $57 million in total payments for construction and design. Sections 1.4 and 1.5 highlight payment and award results from AMP 2020 projects. Legacy program results are summarized in Section 1.6.
1.4 AMP 2020 Program Results
For projects under the AMP 2020 Program, DCAMM measures performance against the availability goals provided through our latest disparity study. We have a second set of targets that are more aspirational, where we look to “out-perform” the availability-based goals. These are referred to as Enhanced Target Goals.
This report will focus on availability-based goals. We are pleased to report, however, that we outperformed the FY 24 enhanced targets in several categories, including MBE construction (both payments and awards), WBE design (awards and payments).
AMP 2020 Payment Results
DCAMM exceeded our availability-based payment goals with one exception – WBE payments for construction (5.8% vs. goal of 7.4%).
Payments to MBE and WBE firms for design and construction under AMP 2020 projects totaled nearly $39 million in FY 24.
| Category | FY 24 Payment Results % | Availability-based Goals % | FY 24 Payments ($ millions) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction | |||
| MBE | 5.3% | 4.0% | $14.6 |
| WBE | 5.8% | 7.4% | $16.0 |
| Total | $30.6 | ||
| Design | |||
| MBE | 6.5% | 4.6% | $1.7 |
| WBE | 25.8% | 12.2% | $6.6 |
| Total | $8.3 |
WBE and MBE goals for individual contracts are measured against total spending for each contract. Individual contracts typically span multiple AMP reporting years. This means that WBE and MBE payment results for individual contracts may differ year-over-year depending on timing of scopes of work for the WBE and MBE subcontracts. These timing differences can impact overall DCAMM payment results for a given year when MBE or WBE subcontract scopes fall outside of the reporting year for large projects spanning multiple years. These large projects can have an outsized impact on overall results in any given reporting year. Review of WBE construction payment results shows that this was a factor in FY 24.
As an example, the Holyoke Veteran’s Home project had payments to the prime totaling $53 million in FY24 but did not have WBE subcontract payments at the level of the contract goal of 7.6% in FY 24. However, the project does currently have WBE subcontracts in place to meet the contract goal through work to be completed in future years. The Newton Pavilion project had prime payments totaling $79 million in FY 24 and did not have WBE subcontract payments at the level of the contract goal of 7.3% in FY 24. DCAMM’s compliance team is working with the construction manager to maximize WBE participation in the remaining years of the contract.
1.5 AMP 2020 Results - Awards
Contract awards during the Fiscal Year are reported here using the same availability – based goals used for the AMP 2020 payment results. These results reflect construction and design contracts that were signed during FY 2024. These contracts require minority and women-owned subcontractor participation based on project-specific factors such as size, scope, and subcontracting opportunities along with availability of certain types of subcontractors based on the most recent Disparity Study.
AMP 2020 Award Results
All AMP 2020 award goals were met for both construction and design with one exception - a 0.2% shortfall in awards to WBE construction firms. See Table 2 in the second section of this page for more details.
Approximately $23 million in new awards were made to minority and women-owned construction and design firms in FY 24:
| Category | FY 24 Award Results % | Availability-based Goals % | FY 24 New Awards ($ millions) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction | |||
| MBE | 19.1% | 4.0% | $15.3 |
| WBE | 7.2% | 7.4% | $ 5.8 |
| Total | $21.1 | ||
| Design | |||
| MBE | 5.9% | 4.6% | $0.2 |
| WBE | 62.1% | 12.2% | $2.0 |
| Total | $2.2 |
1.6 Legacy Program Results – (payments only)
For projects under the Legacy Program DCAMM measures performance against just one set of combined MBE and WBE program goals based on the previous Disparity Study published in 2010. The combined goal for construction is 10.4%. The corresponding goal for design is 17.9%. All projects during FY 2024 were awarded under the AMP 2020 program.
FY 24 Payments to MBE and WBE Firms – Legacy Program
All payment goals were met for Legacy projects both design and construction in FY 24.
Approximately $18 million in payments were made to minority and women-owned construction and design firms in FY 24 on Legacy projects
Legacy Program Results - Payments
| Category | FY 24 Legacy Results % | Legacy Combined Goals % | FY 24 Payments ($ millions) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction | |||
| MBE | 5.0% | $4.7 | |
| WBE | 8.0% | $7.6 | |
| Total | 13.0% | 10.4% | $12.3 |
| Design | |||
| MBE | 5.6% | $1.0 | |
| WBE | 25.2% | $4.6 | |
| Total | 30.8% | 17.9% | $5.6 |
1.7 Workforce Reporting
Construction Workforce Methodology
As part of our annual reporting, DCAMM tracks required (self-reported) payroll submissions by construction firms on our projects during the reporting FY.
ANF Administrative Bulletin #14 establishes the following workforce participation benchmarks on state construction contracts:
- % Share of Total Hours Worked by Minority Employees 15.3% Benchmark
- % Share of Total Hours Worked by Female Employees 6.9% Benchmark
The construction workforce benchmark calculations are presented in two ways in this report. We first calculate the share of minority and women workforce hours based on just those hours reported during FY 24. In addition, we calculate the total cumulative hours reported from the inception of those same projects. In this section of the report we focus on the hours reported during FY 24. Additional information, including cumulative project-to-date hours reported, and details of reported hours by specific minority groups, are provided in Section 2 Tables 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 for construction.
Designer Workforce Methodology
A similar approach is used – comparing total designer hours reported by firms against those credited to minorities and women to determine percent shares. However, there are no benchmarks for design workforce and workforce reporting is limited to prime firms only (no subconsultants).
Further details on reported hours for design services are given in Tables 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 in Section 2 of this page.
Construction Workforce Results
Minority hours in FY 24 significantly exceeded the 15.3% benchmark.
Over 29% of the 824,000 construction hours reported in FY 24 were worked by minorities.
- Hispanic workers comprised 18.7% of all construction hours reported in FY 24.
- African American workers comprised 7.7 % of all construction hours reported.
Women construction workforce hours are below benchmark but significantly increased over last year.
- Women construction workers comprised 4.7% of total hours reported in FY 24. While below the 6.9% benchmark, this is an increase of nearly 1/3 over FY 23 women construction hours.
Designer Workforce Results
There are no benchmarks for design hours under our AMP program.
- Women, however, comprised nearly 62% of the ~43,400 total design hours reported in FY 24.
- Minorities comprised nearly 31% of all design hours, with Asians working over 16% of total reported design hours.
Participation of Veteran-Owned Firms
1.8 VBE Program Results – Payments
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 7, §61, Executive Order 599 and relevant A&F administrative bulletins include participation, tracking and reporting on Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (VBEs) – which for purposes of this report includes both VBEs and Service – Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (SDVOBEs).
The Commonwealth’s established benchmark for VBE participation:
- 3% of total design spending.
- 3% for total construction spending.
Veteran participation is formally part of the Commonwealth’s Supplier Diversity Office’s (SDO) Supplier Diversity Program (SDP). While not part of DCAMM’s AMP Program, DCAMM includes reporting on payments to VBE prime contractors as part of this annual AMP report. Table 4 (Section 2) provides details for payments to VBEs for both construction and design.
Construction
- In FY 24, DCAMM paid a total of $5.2 million to VBE prime and subcontract firms.
- This represents 1.4% of total construction payments for FY 24.
- While below the 3% benchmark, this is more than a four-fold increase from our VBE performance during the previous year.
- Payments to VBEs in FY 24 were driven largely by VBE primes and subcontractors working at the new Holyoke Veterans Home project.
Design
- Design payments to VBEs in FY 24 totaled $190,600.
- These payments were made solely to VBE subcontractors – no SDO certified prime design firms received payments in FY 24.
1.9 DCAMM’s Strategic Initiatives Supporting AMP Program
Working through the Governor’s Office of Access and Opportunity, in partnership with the Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) and other state agencies, industry trade groups and other stakeholders, DCAMM continues its commitment to improving access and opportunities through several ongoing outreach and communication initiatives.
Expanding the Pool of MBE and WBE Contractors on Public Projects
DCAMM continues to target Supplier Diversity Office certified MBE and WBE contractors to encourage and enable them to perform public work across the Commonwealth by becoming DCAMM certified.
- During FY2024, DCAMM continued to both organize and participate in many in-person and virtual group events. These provide general educational information on the public contracting process, available certifications, accessing supportive services, MBE/WBE and VBE program information and promoting opportunities to work on DCAMM and other public construction and design projects. These regularly scheduled outreach sessions have continued into FY 2025.
- Target mailings to MBE, WBE, and VBE subcontractors to create awareness of upcoming opportunities on future DCAMM construction and design projects.
- DCAMM participates in formal training of public officials, owners’ project managers (OPMs), and others as part of the Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) program run by the Office of the Inspector General. These sessions cover key AMP obligations for public awarding authorities and their OPMs, including the obligation to include minority and women workforce goals in procurement and contract documents, the apparent low general contractor’s submission of an MBE and WBE goal-satisfying plan for participation prior to project award along with monitoring and reporting obligations on state agency and state assisted municipal projects.
EO 630 Public Construction Advisory Council
On March 1, 2024, Governor Healey issued Executive Order 630 creating the Public Construction Projects Advisory Council. The Council’s charge was to identify barriers to inclusionary contracting for small, emerging, and diverse Massachusetts businesses in public construction projects and to recommend reforms or measures to reduce or eliminate such barriers. After ten meetings over many months, the 27-member Council, which included representative and diverse members from industry, labor, and awarding authorities, presented their final report on September 30, 2024. The report identified four primary thematic barriers - Bonding and Insurance, Working Capital and Payment, SDO and DCAMM Certification, and Bidding Public Construction Processes with recommended options to address each. DCAMM is currently in the process of prioritizing and implementing the policy recommendations within its purview.
Access and Opportunity Committees
During FY24 DCAMM began developing an Access and Opportunity Committee (AOC) program which it launched in FY25. The goal of the AOC program is to encourage collaboration and share best practices between and among the various prime contractor representatives and DCAMM staff, with input from industry participants to support and increase minority and women workforce and MBE and WBE Business participation on larger agency projects.
Strengthening Massachusetts’ Commitment to Veterans
SDO’s statewide Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) throughout FY24 included both Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprise and Veteran Business Enterprise certifications along with a combined benchmark of 3% on. design and construction contracts.
Most recently DCAMM reached out to all the certified contractors in the DCAMM Directory to encourage self-identification as Veteran Owned or Service-Connected Veteran Owned Businesses with the Supplier Diversity Office.
The new state-of-the-art Holyoke Veterans Home is a showcase for the state’s commitment to VBE participation in capital projects. The $406M construction contract for this new facility is a 50-50 joint venture between VBE-certified Commodore Builders and Walsh Construction (C|W). DCAMM continues to coordinate on-going efforts with C|W to increase veteran participation on this key project, including holding workforce diversity on-boarding strategy meetings with multiple prime and subcontractors to ensure veteran workforce participation, coordinating with a range of veteran organizations to assist in increasing veteran workers and apprentices and implementing a hardhat sticker program to identify veteran workers on the project.
Supporting Minority and Women Business/Workforce Program
DCAMM is committed to finding and creating opportunities to help minorities and women navigate careers available in the construction industry. This clearly has benefits for workers, industry, and governmental entities, alike. While we continue to exceed our program benchmark for minority workforce participation, DCAMM will continue to strive to meet the benchmark for women workforce participation. Going forward DCAMM will enhance workforce initiatives through the Access and Opportunity Committees (AOCs).
Next Disparity Study
DCAMM plans to launch its next disparity study during fiscal year 2025. DCAMM’s most recent Disparity Study was issued in 2017. The next Disparity Study will be conducted in consultation with SDO and other stakeholders. It will be guided by a competitively procured expert firm and will provide current statistical and anecdotal data in accordance with nation-wide best practices for such studies. The Disparity Study will also help document specific challenges to participation in public and private contracting, and ways to address those challenges going forward.

This is a list of projects included in DCAMM's portfolio during FY 24, but are still too early in the process to include in the AMP 2024 award results. These are CM at Risk or Ch 25 Section 11 energy projects that are awarded in phases. These projects are still in pre construction phases. AMP goals have been established in the contract awarded to the primes, but MBE and WBE subcontracting is still a work in progress. These will likely be included in the FY 25 AMP awards report when subcontracting is more complete.
