Good Faith Effort
TriWest has historically and will continue, whenever practicable, bid all major purchases making certain that Small Business Concerns
and Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns have a chance to compete. TriWest will also seek to ensure it maintains a source list of Small
Business Concerns and Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns to further opportunities for these businesses to compete for subcontracts.
