The Historically Black Colleges/Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCUs/MIs) are a source of accomplishment and great pride for the African American community and the Nation. The Army initiated its HBCU/MI program in 1987 in response to Public Law 99-661,section 1207. This particular section outlined the 5% contract goal for minorities for contracts and subcontracts entered into with Small Business Concerns, HBCU and MI in Fiscal Years 1987, 1988 and 1989. The goal for contracting was applicable to funds obligated for procurement, research, development, test, evaluation, military construction and operation and maintenance. Since implementing the contracting goal the Army has successfully provided more than $176.7M in program support to HBCU/MI. The Army has worked diligently to strengthen the relationship between the Army Laboratories and Research Centers and the HBCU/MI community.
