Black Contractors & Subs Quarterly Supplier Diversity Meet & Greet

CALLING ALL BLACK-OWNED CONSTRUCTION FIRMS, TRADES, & INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS in the D/FW METROPLEX!!!

The Arlington Black Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) formally invites Black-owned construction-related businesses to strategically position themselves in front of the decision-makers who award work.

This is not a mixer.
This is intentional access to procurement pathways, projects, and people with authority.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND (SUPPLIERS & SERVICE PROVIDERS)

Black-owned firms across the construction ecosystem, including but not limited to:

• General Contractors & Subcontractors
• MEP Trades (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Low Voltage)
• Architects & Engineers
• Concrete, Masonry, Roofing, Steel, & Specialty Trades
• Facilities & Maintenance Contractors
• Landscapers & Site Services
• Developers, Logistics, & Construction Consultants
• Realtors specializing in commercial, industrial, or development projects
• Estimators, Cost Consultants, & Pre-Construction Professionals

WHO YOU WILL MEET (BUYERS & DECISION-MAKERS)

This event is designed to introduce, connect, and elevate underrepresented firms directly to:

• Prime Contractors & General Contractors
• Facility Directors & Owners’ Representatives
• Project Managers & Construction Executives
• Pre-Construction & Estimating Teams
• Bond Program Executives & Capital Program Managers
• SBE / MWBE / HUB Administrators

These are the professionals who control bid lists, scopes, and invitations to compete.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Black-owned construction businesses receive less than 1% of all D/FW construction contracts.

Opportunities do not circulate to companies that are unknown, unseen, or unintroduced.

If decision-makers don’t know you exist, they cannot recommend you, prequalify you, or award you work.

This forum eliminates that barrier.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Meaningful participation—not surface-level networking
• Direct access to primes actively seeking qualified suppliers
• Intentional project recruitment and relationship-building
• Strategic visibility for your firm, capabilities, and capacity
• A room curated for deal flow, not distractions
