This administrative guide from the Washington State Department of Commerce outlines the requirements for tracking and reporting "pass-through" funds paid to diverse businesses. The policy is designed to encourage the inclusion of OMWBE-certified (Minority and Women's Business Enterprises) and Veteran-owned businesses in community investments. It specifies that contractors must report payments of $1,000 or more to subcontractors for staff-related goods and services, while providing a detailed list of exempt categories such as client-specific costs, utilities, and small purchases.
