Any gov't contract will require a percentage of DBO's (Disadvantaged Business Owners - which, to my knowledge, can be anything but a white male, including white females).
Basically someone will set one up, then find companies to do the actual work, go get the jobs as a DBO, then give the work to other firms. Obviously this is not always the case, but it is far from uncommon.
It all does seem rather odd in today's world, but it is there and it is a very large percentage that is required (I am referring to massive infrastructure type projects - bridges, roads, transit, etc.).
