It is the policy of the City of Newport News to facilitate the establishment, preservation and strengthening of SWAM (Small, Woman and Minority) firms and to encourage their participation in the City's procurement activities. Toward that objective, the City of Newport News encourages these firms to compete for our business and also encourages majority firms to provide for the participation of SWAM firms through partnerships, joint ventures, subcontracts and other contractual opportunities.

This Minority Directory is made up of Newport News based SWAM (Small, Women and Minority) owned firms registered with our Department. They are listed by the type of work that they do. General contractors are encouraged to use these firms whenever possible on City contracts. While the City makes no claim as to their skills or suitability, we feel this could be a starting place for your search for SWAM firms. [Qualified firms not listed should contact the Purchasing Department].

Neil Morgan, City Manager

The City of Newport News is committed to supporting its Small, Women and Minority-owned businesses. To encourage their participation as vendors for City activities, this directory was produced to assist majority businesses in finding SWAM firms with which to work on City contracts. Businesses listed in this directory are ones that are active and registered with the City's Purchasing Department. We urge our potential contractors to consider these companies when selecting their partners or sub-contractors for competitive bids on City contracts.

Sheri Chapman, CPPB, Director
The Directory of Newport News SWAM vendors is provided to help encourage contractors to join with Newport News-based small, women and minority-owned businesses on competitive bids. While all of our businesses are important to us, we hope that this special segment of our community might receive additional help as they compete in the market-place. This will strengthen our economic base and help our City.

Vendors are listed alphabetically, according to their respective specialties. However, not all SWAM firms located in Newport News will be found in the directory. Only those who are currently registered on the City's Vendor File and have been confirmed as being currently active are included. Qualified suppliers who wish to be added should go to the Purchasing home page and complete the vendors registration form. Vendors who wish to update their listing should also complete a new form.

We strongly urge contractors to do business with these Newport News based SWAM firms.
