## Overview

Draftech International partners with qualified OSP engineering subcontractors, CAD/GIS firms, field survey crews, permitting specialists, and as-built documentation providers across all 50 states. We manage one of the most active OSP engineering pipelines in the country, backed by $42.5B in federal BEAD broadband funding in active deployment.

As a Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Draftech qualifies for BEAD-funded state broadband programs that require supplier diversity spend. Vendors who partner with us gain access to federal and state programs they may not reach as direct bidders.

## MBE & Supplier Diversity

Draftech International received its Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) designation in 2024. On BEAD-funded state broadband programs, subcontract spend with Draftech counts toward clients' supplier diversity requirements. MBE/DBE-certified vendors are prioritized on qualifying project scopes.
