It's an added level of advantage...If you've ever bid a government contract you will know that the minority advantage can mean the difference between winning and losing that bid, even if you're the lower bidder and a minority is bidding against you. I will be honest, I don't know the exact advantage given but there is an advantage. Has been for years. Some bidders have it down to an art....and most these bidders are former government employees that know how the system works.
