MBDA National Minority Enterprise Awards Program Requirements –

Non substantive Change Justification.

0640-0025

The changes are to the language for the eligibility information – the original language is out of date and not entirely consistent with the MBDA Act, because the MBDA Act was passed after the PRA approval in 2021. 

The additional non substantive change is that MBDA is adding an additional award category.
