Goverment Agencies & Primes

Partnering to Build Stronger, more inclusive Communities

At Velez Strategies, we specialize in helping government agencies and prime contractors meet their public engagement, diversity, and subcontractor development goals. With over 14 years of experience, we provide culturally competent, bilingual support to design and implement programs that go beyond compliance — building trust, capacity, and long-term impact.

Whether you're seeking to improve subcontractor outreach, launch a community-based initiative, or build a pipeline of qualified minority-owned firms, we bring the strategy and hands-on support to make it happen.

What We Offer

Capacity Building for Minority and Small Contractors

We create and implement training programs, technical assistance, and mentorship initiatives that help small and minority-owned businesses become contract-ready — supporting your goals for supplier diversity and project readiness. 

Bilingual Community Outreach & Engagement

 We design and facilitate community engagement strategies that resonate with underserved populations, including Hispanic and minority communities. From outreach plans to bilingual event execution, we help you build trust and reach the right stakeholders. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Compliance Support

From helping you meet your MWBE goals to providing back-end compliance tracking and community reporting, we help ensure your project reflects your commitment to equitable development. 

Program Design & Implementation

Need to launch a contractor readiness program or community-based initiative? We’ll help you develop the strategy, curriculum, implementation plan, and impact evaluation to meet your internal and external expectations. 

Technical Assistance & Procurement

We support primes and agencies in structuring and managing equitable procurement processes that attract diverse vendors and ensure transparency, accountability, and long-term capacity growth. 

Let’s build something that lasts — we’re ready to help.
