About SWaM
The SWaM Procurement Initiative was established On August 10, 2006, as Governor Timothy Kaine signed Executive Order No. 33, to enhance business opportunities for small, women- and minority-owned businesses and to ensure a level playing field for all small businesses in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Through this legislation, Governor Kaine set forth a 40% goal of purchases from SWaMs for the Commonwealth and established a Small Business Set-Aside Program, as well as several other initiatives for state agencies and departments to enhance SWaM participation in procurement activities. The list of SWaM certified businesses is published online.
