The Business Capacity Development Program (BCDP) is your gateway to opportunity — with MMSD and beyond. Sponsored by MMSD, this program equips small, women-, minority-, and veteran-owned businesses with the skills, strategies, and connections to compete for — and win — contracts with public and private clients.
MMSD is a regional leader in water reclamation and flood management, serving over 1.1 million people across 29 communities. Every year, MMSD invests in major construction, engineering, and consulting projects — and BCDP equips you to align your business with these opportunities while strengthening your capacity to win work with other agencies, primes, and private organizations.
